Abstract
A fiber optic connector tray system for managing fiber optic cable consists of a first tray body (200a) movably connected to a second tray body (200b), and a link (260) attached to the first tray body and a mount arm (153) such that when the trays are rotated, the link causes movement of one tray relative to the other. The system provides a simple way to manage a plurality of fibers and reduces additional slack resulting from rotation of the trays.
