Abstract
A transceiver module support apparatus comprising a support tray received in a chassis. The tray is specially configured for receiving and supporting a plurality of modules with a front portion of the tray including cable routing and supporting features with curved contours of predetermined bending radii to prevent excessive bending or twisting of the cables. The guide portions have smooth contours with the desired bending radii extending in at least two directions to allow for different cable routing. The tray also includes integral structural features for mounting cooling fan units and interconnecting them.
