SPLICE TRAY AND STORAGE TRAY FOR A CAP COUPLING BOX

摘要

The present invention relates to a tray assembly for organizing a plurality of optical fibre cables adapted to form a loop. The tray assembly (1) comprises at least one tray selected from a group consisting of a splice tray (100; 300) and a storage tray (200). The splice tray (100; 300) comprises a splice support plate (102) for receiving on a front surface side (104) thereof at least one optical fibre cable, the front surface side (104) is projected by a plurality of splice support wall portions (105, 106, 108), which surround at least partially an organizing area (110), in which an optical fibre splice holder (112) is arranged, which provide outside of the organizing area (110) at least one guiding path (114) for guiding the at least one received optical fibre cable to the organizing area (110) and which provide an entrance (115) to said guiding path (114) at a lateral end side (116) of the splice support plate (102). The splice tray (100; 300) comprises securing means (118) for securing the at least one optical fibre cable, which securing means (118) is received within the guiding path (114), and an entrance holding rib (122) or a guiding path holding rib (124), wherein the holding rib (122; 124) at least partially covers the guiding path (114) by projecting the splice support plate (102) with a height equal or smaller than that of the securing means (118). Thereby, the at least one optical fibre cable may be reliably secured within the guiding path (114). The storage tray (200) comprises a fibre support plate (201) for receiving on a front surface side (202) thereof at least one optical fibre cable, the front surface side (202) is projected by a plurality of fibre support wall portions (203a, 203c) surrounding at least partially a loop storage area (204) for storing the at least one looped optical fibre cable. The storage tray (200) comprises at least one receiving opening (216) recessed within the loop storage area (204) for receiving at least one of the plurality of optical fibre cables, wherein the receiving opening (216) is L-shaped with a leg (218) ranging to a lateral end side (206) of the fibre support plate (201). Thus, the storage tray size may be efficiently used by the plurality of optical fibre cables. The tray assembly (1) comprises further a base (2) adapted to sealingly receive a cover for covering the at least one tray selected from the group consisting of the splice tray (100; 300) and the storage tray (200) and providing passageways (5) for sealingly guiding the optical fibre cable through said base (2), which base (2) is connected to a support (3) for holding the at least one storage tray (200) and/or for pivotably holding the at least one splice tray (100; 300) such that the entrance (115) to the guiding path (114) is arranged opposed to the base (2).
