MULTI-LAYER MODULE A multi-layer module comprising: a multi-fiber cable storage layer having a cable entry opening and a cable winding structure; a splice storage layer that is discrete from the multi-fiber cable storage layer, the splice storage layer having a splice layer receiving opening in communication with the multi-fiber cable storage layer and a slack storage area; and a pigtail storage layer that is discrete from both the multi-fiber cable storage layer and the splice storage layer, the pigtail storage layer having a pigtail connector area and a pigtail storage area, the pigtail storage area comprising a pigtail storage layer receiving opening in communication with the splice storage layer, wherein the multi-fiber cable storage layer, the splice storage layer, and the pigtail storage layer are layered in an offset manner such that a portion of the pigtail storage area is disposed in an intervening space between the multi-fiber cable storage layer and the splice storage layer, while a portion of the pigtail connector area is disposed outside of the intervening space between the multi-fiber cable storage layer and the splice storage layer.
