ABSTRACT:
A fiber management system for routing a plurality of optical fibers having a minimum bend radius. The fiber management system includes a fiber guide and one or more fiber trays. The fiber guide includes a plurality of fingers for retaining the optical fiber. At least one of the fingers has a curved portion with a radius selected to insure that the optical fiber does not bend past its minimum bend radius when routed over the finger. The fiber tray, which routes the optical fiber to the fiber guide, has a curved lip with a radius at least as large as the minimum bend radius of the optical fiber. The fiber tray and fiber guide are positioned such that the curved lip of the fiber tray is adjacent to the curved portion of the finger. The optical fibers are routed over the curved lip of the fiber tray and the curved portion of the corresponding finger, thereby allowing the fibers to be routed without being bent past the minimum bend radius.
