Modular optical fiber cassette

A method for using an optical fiber management housing, the method comprising:

• accessing an optical management component on an interior of the housing by converting the housing from a folded configuration to an unfolded configuration including:
• detaching a cover panel from a first side panel and a second side panel of the housing, wherein the cover panel is coupled to a third side panel of the housing via a living hinge, and wherein the first side panel, the second side panel, and the third side panel are each coupled to a base panel of the housing via respective living hinges;
• removing an adapter plate from the housing;
• performing an optical management operation on the optical management component;
• and
• returning the housing from the unfolded configuration to the folded configuration.

An optical fiber management housing system comprising:

• a base panel having a splice tray integrally formed thereon;
• a first side panel, a second side panel, and a third side panel each coupled to the base panel via a respective living hinge;
• a cover panel coupled to one of the first, second, and third side panels via a living hinge;
• wherein the housing includes a folded configuration in which the panels are releasably connected together and form the housing;
• and
• at least two different removable adapter plates each configured to form a fourth side panel of the housing when in the folded configuration and each configured for releasable connection to the base panel, the cover panel, and two of the first, second, and third side panels;
• and
• wherein the housing includes an unfolded configuration providing access to the splice tray.
