In one embodiment a fiber tray include an arrangement of retaining slots
configured to receive retaining clips in a variety of different
orientations and sizes. Retaining clips may have standardized sizes to
correspond with the arrangement of retaining slots and to secure a
variety of components to the fiber tray in different locations and
orientations. Fiber management means may be provided to guide fiber optic
cable from the components in a variety of orientations and locations. The
fiber tray may be configured to move between a stowed position within a
node housing in which the mounting surface of the tray faces downward and
an access position in which the tray faces upward. The tray may be
transparent to allow a technician to view the fiber arrangement without
moving the tray from the stowed position.
