Abstract
A fiber optic cable management system includes a tray configured to reciprocate inside of an enclosure between an inserted position and an extended position. Optical fiber modules are located in the tray and retain optical fiber splitters or optical fiber multiplexer/de-multiplexers. The tray when moved to the extended position moves the optical fiber modules out of the front end of the rack enclosure. This allows a technician to access the back of the modules for maintenance operations without having to access the back end of the enclosure. A flexible cable guide allows the optical fibers connected to the modules to move with the tray into and out of the enclosure. Reflectors can be attached to the connectors to test fiber optic lines between a central office and the cell site location.
