Enclosure for splicing of optical fibers

A splice enclosure for providing a space for receipt of a plurality of spliced optical fibers of a plurality of cables, the splice enclosure comprising:

• a cabinet defining an interior volume and comprising:
• a rear wall;
• a first side wall coupled to the rear wall;
• a second side wall coupled to the rear wall and spaced from the first side wall;
• a lower wall coupled to at least one of the first side wall, the second side wall, or the rear wall;
• and
• a front panel coupled to the first side wall,
• wherein the cabinet defines a longitudinal axis extending in a direction parallel to planes in which the rear wall and at least one of the first wall or the second wall lie;
• and
• a splice tray assembly comprising:
• a splice tray housing pivotally coupled to the cabinet;
• and
• a plurality of splice trays pivotally coupled to the splice tray housing and configured to provide a space for receipt of a plurality of spliced optical fibers of a plurality of cables,
• wherein the splice tray housing is pivotally coupled to the cabinet, such that the splice tray housing pivots about a housing pivot axis extending in a direction substantially perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal axis and substantially parallel with respect to the plane in which the rear wall lies, and
• wherein in the splice tray housing comprises a first end wall defining a first plane substantially parallel to the first side wall of the cabinet, and a second end wall defining a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane, and wherein the plurality of splice trays is coupled to the splice tray housing between the first wall and the second wall.
