Abstract
An optical fiber distribution element (1810) includes a chassis (1820), an optical device (1900) mounted to the chassis (1820), the optical device (1900) including a plurality of cables (2134) extending from the optical device (1900) into the chassis (1820), and a cable management device (2110/2210) mounted to the chassis (1820). The cable management device (2110/2210) includes a plurality of radius limiters in the form of spools (2132/2232) in a stacked arrangement for managing the cables (2134) extending from the optical device (1900) for further connection within the chassis (1820), wherein a first of the spools (2132/2232) defines a spool wall (2136/2236) having a different wall length than that of a second of the spools (2132/2232), wherein a first of the plurality of cables (2134) is routed around the first of the spools (2132/2232) and a second of the plurality of cables (2134) is routed around the second of the spools (2132/2232) that has a different spool wall length than that of the first of the spools (2132/2232).
