Optical fiber splice cassette

An optical-fiber splice cassette for housing and protecting plural splices of optical fibers, the cassette comprising a substrate for supporting the optical fibers and the splices, and a lid for partially covering the substrate, the substrate comprising:

• a substrate body comprising a splice area thereon, the splice area allowing the splices to be formed and located thereon;
• and
• a platform protruding from the substrate body and having a top-end surface, the platform including plural V-grooves on the top-end surface for guiding the optical fibers, an entirety of the V-grooves forming a V-groove area on the top-end surface;
• the lid comprising:
• a lid body comprising a platform-facing area on the lid, the platform-facing area being configured to cover at least the V-groove area under a working condition that the lid is positioned on the substrate to partially cover the substrate with the platform-facing area pressing towards the top-end surface and the optical fibers running through the V-grooves;
• and
• plural legs protruding from a part of the lid body other than the platform-facing area, the legs being arranged such that a channel for allowing the optical fibers to pass through is formed between pre-determined two of the legs, wherein under the working condition, the channel overlies and covers the splice area to provide physical protection to the splices.
