ABSTRACT:
An assembly for routing fiber optic cables transversely across an electronics housing interior. The electronics housing interior supports circuit boards, some of which are optically coupled to the fiber optic cables requiring routing. The assembly includes a support member for coupling with the housing interior, and this support member is pivotally coupled to a fiber optic cable retaining member. The fiber optic cable retaining member routes the fiber optic cables across the housing interior, and it can be pivoted away from the electronics housing, enabling one to remove a circuit board for service, testing, or replacement without handling of or with minimal handling of individual fiber optic cables. A cover is pivotally coupled to the fiber optic cable retaining member, and it can be opened to facilitate the routing of the fiber optic cables or closed to protect the routed fiber optic cables.
