Abstract

An optical fibre management system comprises a plurality of splice trays (4) arranged in a stack. Each splice tray (4) has a main body portion (9) for holding at least one splice, and for storing fibres leading to the splice(s), and a fibre entry/exit portion (10) for feeding fibre to/from the main body portion. Each tray (4) is mounted in the stack so as to be movable from a stacked position, in which it is aligned with the other trays, to first and second operating positions in which the fibre entry/exit portion (10) and the main body portion (9)
