<p>An improved sleeve holder for use in an optical fiber buildout is disclosed. The sleeve holder comprises an elongate tubular body formed about a longitudinal axis, the body having a first end and a spaced second end. At least a first slot is defined in the first end of the body and extends longitudinally from the first end of the body toward the second end thereof. A first annular shoulder is defined within the first end of the body about the longitudinal axis, and a second annular shoulder, spaced from the first shoulder is defined within the second end of the body about the longitudinal axis. An annular mounting flange is formed on the exterior surface of the tubular body, intermediate the ends thereof, and extends outwardly and away therefrom. The mounting flange includes at least one, and preferably a pair of radially spaced snap-fit tabs sized and shaped to be received within a buildout cap in a snap-fit for ease of installation and removal when assembling, or changing out, the components of the optical fiber buildout. <IMAGE></p> |
