Abstract
A slack storage bracket for use in fiber optic cable splice enclosures having a body, mounting members for mounting the slack storage bracket to the enclosure, and opposed radial shelf portions extending outwardly from the body to hold the cable slack. The shelf portions preferably have stops to keep the cable slack from slipping off of the shelf portions. The body of the bracket is preferably an arc which, like the radial shelf portions, have a radius of not less than the minimum bend radius of the cable to avoid damage to the cable.
