A splice closure and fibre organiser device (10) comprises a substantially elongate body 5 member (12), closure member (16) and a foldable organiser tray (14) for accommodating at least one fibre splice and/or length(s) of excess fibre. The organiser tray which includes a plurality of fold lines (21) provided by respective living hinges is capable of being wrapped around part of the bodymember, into a generally cylindrical or part cylindrical shape, to close or partially close the closure. The fold lines enable the organiser tray to be folded into an extra 10 dimension, from a flat planar structure into a generally cylindrical or part cylindrical shape. This enables the closure to be more compact without compromising the bend control radius characteristics of the organiser tray. By restricting the minimum bend radius of the organiser to that of the fibre to be used bend control of installed fibre can be readily achieved. The device is particularly suitable for use in FTTX applications.
