An optical fiber tray including a fiber connector holder with storage in the holder for incoming fibers for connection to rear facing ends of the connectors. Front facing connector ends are joined to outgoing fibers in the form of patch cords which pass through a storage facility in which each patch cord is disposed in its own storage region. A minimum bend radius channel through which the patch cords travel is movable in the tray to lessen the distance moved by patch cords as the tray is moved forwardly and rearwardly. This movable channel allows for excess fiber from within the tray during tray movement and without disturbing patch cord material outside the tray.

A cabinet with a closure door having a rigid stay for holding the door in an open position. The stay is basically U-shaped and is pivotally held upon a body of the cabinet to be located around hinged together side walls of the body and door in the door open position. As the stay lies up against these side walls, it does not obstruct any access space into the body and it also holds the door with its closure surface directly facing the operator to enable him to maintain equipment upon the door also.
