<p>A method and system for activating and deactivating a fiber optic splice within an optical fiber distribution frame while the splice is releasably retained within a connector tray within the distribution frame. The connector tray preferably includes multiple slots for supporting a number of mechanically activatable fiber optic splices which each include a jacket and a cap which is retained in a first intermediate position within the jacket while the splice is deactivated and in a second fully inserted position within the jacket while the splice is activated. An activator tool is provided which includes a stop member and slidably mounted pivot member which may be utilized to engage the splice jacket and urge the cap into the fully inserted position in response to relative movement between the pivot member and the stop member in order to activate the splice while the splice is retained within the connector tray.</p> |
