Abstract

A fiber tray is provided for installing fiber optic cable and other types of cable that are vulnerable to performance losses if a certain minimum bend radius is not maintained. The fiber tray allows a user to create a subassembly that maintains bend radius control while easing assembly. The construction of the fiber tray also minimizes the depth of the tray and gives freedom to the user to vary the routing patterns of the cable so that a component that is attached to the end of the cable can be located at a predetermined spot on the tray.
