Abstract: A fiber splice cassette includes a main chassis, a removable cover, splice sleeve holders, and four cable clamp boots. The main chassis forms a cavity having a plurality of cable organizing tabs for cable management. Splice sleeve holders are located in the cavity of the main chassis, each of the splice sleeve holders being selectively removable from a corresponding splice sleeve holder nest and being configured for specific splicing capabilities while maintaining the structural strength of the holders. The splice sleeve holder nests may be selectively and removably attached to an interior surface of the fiber cable enclosure via a variety of means to allow the splice sleeve holder nests to be easily rotated, relocated, or accessed for maintenance.

Abstract: A bidirectional intermediate modular adapter (500) can be installed from the front or the rear of a mounting panel. The body (502) of the modular adapter includes a front face (504), an opposing rear face (506), an opening (210) extending from the front face through the body to the opposing rear face, a first side surface (512) and an opposing second side surface (514), a flexible top surface (508) and an opposing lower surface (510). The flexible top surface has flexible beams (518A, 518B) and landings (528A, 528B), which define a deformable opening (520), and a first groove (526). The landings may have ramps (522A, 522B) at the sides thereof. The opposing lower surface has a second groove (540) extending at least partially lengthwise across thereof. The bidirectional intermediate modular adapter is preferably made of a nonconductive material with a conductive plating thereon.
