Abstract

A tray for providing a plurality of different modular fiber optic cassette configurations may comprise a tray member that may support a plurality of different modular fiber optic cassette configurations in a standard U-space width. The different modular fiber optic cassette configurations may include different sizes of modular fiber optic cassettes. Each of the different sizes of modular fiber optic cassettes may support a fiber optic receptable module that may fit in a standard one width (1 W) unit. The plurality of different sizes of modular fiber optic cassettes may include a 2 W cassette size that may fit a standard two width (2 W) unit (relative to the standard one width, (1 W) unit), a 3 W cassette size that may fit a standard three width (3 W) unit, a 4 W cassette size that may fit a standard four width (4 W) unit, and/or a 6 W cassette size that may fit a standard six width (6 W) unit.
