ABSTRACT:
The fiber organizer includes a tray for supporting at least one optical fiber within a housing, such as an optical receiver node. The fiber organizer also includes means for defining a raceway along which the optical fiber is routed. The raceway can be defined by inner and outer walls which extend outwardly from the tray in order to guide the optical fiber along the raceway in a manner which prevents the fiber from being excessively bent. In order to provide access to components disposed beneath the fiber organizer, the tray can include a hinge to permit a first portion of the tray to be pivoted relative to a second portion of the tray. The tray can also define one or more openings aligned with respective test ports of the electrical circuitry which lies beneath the fiber organizer. A technician can therefore establish electrical contact with the test ports while the tray remains in position within the housing. The fiber organizer can also include a receptacle for cooperably engaging and storing a spare connector so as to facilitate reconnectorization or other repair of the optical fibers.
