A support shelf for fiber optic hardware, the support shelf comprising: a base having four edges, the four edges (14, 16, 18, 20) including, opposite front and rear edges (14, 16) that are spaced apart from one another in a first direction, opposite right and left edges (18, 20) that are spaced apart from one another in a second direction; a right shelf support connected to the base and extending from proximate the right edge of the base; a left shelf support connected to the base and extending from proximate the left edge of the base; wherein the right and left shelf supports (28, 29) are adapted to be received by a housing such that the support shelf is movable relative to the housing in the first direction or wherein the right and left shelf supports (28, 29) are in communication with a storage rack; characterized in that a plurality of component mounting features are located in the base and spaced from the four edges (14, 16, 18, 20), the component mounting features extending in either the first direction or the second direction, wherein the component mounting features in the base are for cooperating with mounting features of the fiber optic hardware and provide for an interference fit with the component mounting features so the fiber optic hardware is removably mountable at any one of a plurality of mounting locations in the base to alter or change the position of fiber optic hardware and relocate the fiber optic hardware to a new location on the support shelf, the plurality of mounting locations extending from proximate the front edge to proximate the rear edge; the generally planar base rises proximate the rear edge to form an upper shelf, wherein the upper shelf provides as a barrier to contain fiber optic hardware. a base having four edges, the four edges (14, 16, 18, 20) including, opposite front and rear edges (14, 16) that are spaced apart from one another in a first direction, opposite right and left edges (18, 20) that are spaced apart from one another in a second direction; a right shelf support connected to the base and extending from proximate the right edge of the base; a left shelf support connected to the base and extending from proximate the left edge of the base; wherein the right and left shelf supports (28, 29) are adapted to be received by a housing such that the support shelf is movable relative to the housing in the first direction or wherein the right and left shelf supports (28, 29) are in communication with a storage rack; characterized in that a plurality of component mounting features are located in the base and spaced from the four edges (14, 16, 18, 20), the component mounting features extending in either the first direction or the second direction, wherein the component mounting features in the base are for cooperating with mounting features of the fiber optic hardware and provide for an interference fit with the component mounting features so the fiber optic hardware is removably mountable at any one of a plurality of mounting locations in the base to alter or change the position of fiber optic hardware and relocate the fiber optic hardware to a new location on the support shelf, the plurality of mounting locations extending from proximate the front edge to proximate the rear edge; the generally planar base rises proximate the rear edge to form an upper shelf, wherein the upper shelf provides as a barrier to contain fiber optic hardware.
