Abstract
A cable jumper bend limiter arrangement for a fiber distribution shelf that is readily adaptable for use in conventional fiber distribution frames. The shelf jumper bend limiter arrangement of the invention operates to maintain minimum bend radii for jumpers routed via the shelf and facilitates increased storage and routing space for jumper cables routed in jumper troughs of distribution frames in which the shelves are installed. Radial guides that form the bend limiters for the distribution shelf of the invention are disposed predominantly within the perimeter of the shelf and extend only minimally beyond an edge of the shelf.
