One or more fiber optic cable management systems provided with an optical communications housing for managing and routing fiber optic cables. Each fiber optic cable management system includes a series of saddle brackets, and a channel for routing and separating matrix fiber optic cables from customer fiber optic cables. Each saddle bracket is capable of routing customer fiber optic cables in multiple directions without bending the customer cables beyond their minimum bend radii. As many saddle brackets as practical are provided in the fiber optic cable management system. Providing a multitude of saddle brackets allows the slack in the customer fiber optic cables to be distributed across more brackets, and allows each saddle bracket to be shorter. Shorter saddle brackets, in turn, increases hand space for a technician to manipulate and route the customer fiber optic cables.
