An apparatus for storing and routing a fiber optic cable to an equipment
cabinet is described. The apparatus includes a storage tray having a
planar surface for accommodating the fiber optic cable. The tray is
mounted to an upper end of the equipment cabinet. The tray has a
plurality of routing channels extending along the planar surface and a
portion thereof extending along at least one surface of the equipment
cabinet generally perpendicular to the planar surface, with each of the
routing channels defining a minimum bend radius to restrict over bending
of the fiber optic cable. The tray has a central portion for
accommodating the fiber optic cable, and the plurality of routing
channels are in communication with the central portion and extending
downward towards equipment supported by the equipment cabinet.
