1. A telecommunications device comprising:
a re-enterable enclosure including a cable access end;
an insert unit that can be loaded into the re-enterable enclosure as a unit, the insert unit having a first side and a second side, the insert unit including:
a first sealant containment arrangement that is positioned adjacent the cable access end of the enclosure when the insert unit is positioned within the enclosure, the first sealant containment region including a first cable routing region for routing cables through the cable access end of the enclosure to the first side of the insert unit, and a second sealant containment region including a second cable routing region for routing cables through the cable access end of the enclosure to the second side of the insert unit;
a first cable anchoring location at the first side of the insert unit;
a second cable anchoring location at the second side of the insert unit;
a fiber patching region at the first side of the insert unit, the fiber patching region including either optical splicing locations or demateable optical connection locations;
a fiber loop-storage region at the second side of the insert unit; and
