Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for optical fiber loop relaxation are provided for telecommunications management apparatuses, such as fiber optic telecommunications trays. The apparatus includes a radius limiter block for routing fibers therearound, and a fiber loop management recess provided on a peripheral surface of the radius limiter block. The fiber loop management recess is configured to receive a fiber loop management device between the radius limiter block and the fibers routed around the radius limiter block.
