Patent ID: 8346043

Claim:
A fiber tray comprising: a support member having a substantially flat top surface for supporting at least one loop of an optical fiber; a lead-in member and a lead-out member, each having a top surface for guiding the optical fiber from an input location to the top surface of the support member to an output location, the top surface of the support member and the top surfaces of the lead-in and lead-out members together forming a continuous fiber carrying surface for supporting the optical fiber substantially along its entire length between the input and the output locations; first and second walls extending generally upwardly from the fiber carrying surface, so as to define a continuous guiding path for the optical fiber in going from the input location to the output location, the guiding path being defined on both sides thereof; and a mounting member for mounting the fiber tray; wherein the fiber carrying surface has an adhesive layer thereon, for affixing the optical fiber thereto; wherein the mounting member extends generally downwardly from the support member for mounting to a base; and wherein the mounting member includes a swing member for rotating the fiber tray away from the base.
