Management-capable splice cassette

A management-capable splice cassette for the telecommunication and data transmission applications, comprising:

• a carrier having, two adjacent receiving portions, latching means and support means;
• a splice cassette housing with reserve length guiding portions and housing latch means for snap-fitting said carrier into connection with said splice cassette housing;
• carrier shells connectable to said carrier support means in a pivotable manner, each of said carrier shells being disposed in one of said two adjacent receiving portions, wherein said carrier shells are stackable in each of said receiving portions, each of said carrier shells being supported for pivoting by said support means about a rotation axis and movable into a latch position with said latch means, said rotation axis being substantially parallel to a plane of a respective said carrier shell, said latch means being disposed at a side of a connected carrier shell.

A splice cassette for fiber optic elements, the cassette comprising:

• a carrier housing having two receiving portions and means for receiving the fiber optic elements;
• a plurality of carrier shells receiving the fiber optic elements from said carrier housing, each of said plurality of carrier shells being associated with one of said receiving portions;
• two carrier support means positioned on said carrier housing, each of said carrier support means being associated with one of said receiving portions, said each carrier support means rotationally connecting said carrier shells in said associated receiving portion to said carrier housing about a respective rotation axis for each said carrier shell, each said rotation axis being substantially parallel to a plane of a respective carrier shell, said each carrier support means stacking said respective carrier shells in said associated receiving portion.
