Abstract

A fiber tray with an adjustable fiber boot exit angle includes one or more trays each including a base layer and a retention mechanism for one or more optical fibers at various positions about the base layer, wherein the one or more trays provide management of the one or more optical fibers in a fiber optic assembly; a fiber boot at an exit point of a tray of the one or more trays, wherein the fiber boot provides an exit for the one or more optical fibers from the fiber tray; and an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an exit angle of the one or more optical fibers by changing position of the fiber boot, wherein the exit angle is set based on a type of the fiber optic assembly.
