## Abstract

A fiber optic distribution device for handling optical fibers, especially wall box, is disclosed. The fiber optic distribution device includes housing with a back wall having parallel grooves, a front wall and side walls defining together an interior of the housing. Fiber optic management units like patch units and/or splice units and/or overlength units for handling optical fibers and/or junctions between optical fibers mount in the interior of the housing to the back wall. The back wall has at least one set of parallel grooves, whereby each fiber optic management unit is mounted to the back wall by fastening elements acting together with at least one of grooves.

## Claims
