Abstract

A cable organization unit includes a housing. A tray is attached to the housing by at least one slide, and is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the housing. A hood is removably secured to the tray. A user may remove the hood from the tray to access adapters attached to a bulkhead on the tray. The tray may include a latch for securing the tray to the housing in the first position, and the hood may be removed from the tray while the tray is in the first or second positions. A retainer is optionally attached to the housing. The retainer includes an adjustable opening which may be reduced in size such that edges of the opening frictionally engage and hold a jacket of a cable passing therethrough.
