1. A splice tray for accommodating at least one splice of two or more optical fibers, the splice tray comprising:

  • at least one splice holder joined to the splice tray, wherein the at least one splice holder is adapted to selectively receive a splice that optically connects a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber, wherein the splice tray is configured to receive a plurality of splices; and

    at least one or more optical fiber routing guides each associated with a single respective splice;

    wherein the optical fiber routing guide is adapted to provide slack storage for only the optical fibers associated with the single respective splice wherein the splice defines opposed axial ends, and wherein a respective optical fiber routing guide comprises a generally semicircular hub proximate each axial end of the respective splice.
