The PLP LITE-GRIP® 40 Fiber Splice Tray is a high-density, short-profile fiber optic splice tray designed to organize and protect up to 40 single fusion splices within PLP COYOTE® fiber optic closures. Utilizing PLP's innovative LITE-GRIP® Technology, this tray improves fiber management, simplifies installation, and enhances long-term splice protection for outside plant fiber optic networks.
Download Spec Sheet
Engineered for today's high-density FTTx, telecommunications, broadband, CATV, and utility fiber networks, the LITE-GRIP splice tray secures splice protectors without excessive compression while maintaining generous fiber bend radius inside a compact footprint. The tray is compatible with numerous PLP closure platforms including COYOTE Dome Closures, COYOTE RUNT closures, COYOTE MPCs, Terminal Closures, and In-Line RUNT closures.
Unlike traditional splice trays that require cable ties or complicated fiber routing, the LITE-GRIP system uses specially engineered retention sleeves and advanced splice blocks that reduce installation time while minimizing the risk of fiber damage during installation, maintenance, or future network expansion.

LITE-GRIP® Fiber Management Technology
PLP's LITE-GRIP Technology introduces a modern approach to fiber splice management by combining specially designed retention sleeves with high-density splice blocks. The system securely holds incoming buffer tubes, pigtails, or transport tubing without excessive compression, eliminating the need for traditional tie wraps while reducing installation time.
The LITE-GRIP splice blocks are manufactured from an advanced grip material that firmly secures fusion splice protectors, helping prevent splice movement caused by vibration, transportation, or field handling. The modular design also allows splice blocks to be easily installed or removed whenever network modifications are required.
High-Density Splice Organization
The short-profile tray is optimized for applications requiring maximum splice density inside compact fiber optic closures. Despite its compact footprint, the tray supports up to 40 single fusion splices while providing organized fiber routing that helps preserve proper bend radius and simplifies future access.
The tray design is particularly well suited for modern FTTx deployments where closure space is limited but high fiber counts and reliable splice protection remain critical.
Broad PLP Closure Compatibility
The PLP LITE-GRIP Short Tray is compatible with a wide variety of PLP COYOTE® fiber optic closure platforms, making it an excellent replacement or expansion tray for existing network infrastructure.
- COYOTE® Dome Closures
- COYOTE® RUNT Closures
- COYOTE® Expanded RUNT
- COYOTE® In-Line RUNT
- COYOTE® ONE
- COYOTE® Terminal Closures
- COYOTE® MPC Closures
- COYOTE® PUP Closures
Simplified Installation and Maintenance
The LITE-GRIP system is engineered to improve installation efficiency while reducing the possibility of accidental fiber damage. Retention sleeves quickly secure incoming fibers, while the advanced splice blocks maintain consistent splice positioning throughout the life of the installation.
Future network upgrades, splice additions, or repairs can be completed more efficiently thanks to the organized tray layout and removable LITE-GRIP components.
