A passive platform for holding optical components includes a raised loading area comprising a series of finger members disposed along the platform floor, the finger members abutting each other and defining between them tunnels for holding optical components in place. A coil guide member projects upward from the floor abutting the raised loading area, the outer perimeter of the coil guide and the raised loading area defining a racetrack region of the floor for winding optical fiber leads extending from optical components being held in the tunnels, the optical fiber passing between the finger members and around the racetrack.
