Abstract
An optical fiber retention device that has a generally planar body having a surface coated with an adhesive. The optical fiber is affixed to the surface by adhering to the adhesive coated surface such that the surface holds the fiber in position but the fiber can be easily removed by pulling the desired length of fiber off of the coated surface. A plurality of tabs extend outwardly from the planar body and contact the printed circuitboard for positioning the planar body at a predetermined distance away from the circuitboard to enable electronic components to be located on the circuitboard beneath the planar body. The tabs also have a planar surface coated with an adhesive that contacts the circuitboard to mount the optical fiber retention device to the circuitboard.
