Fiber management tray with two-sided storage pocket

A fiber management tray having a body comprising:

• a bottom wall, said bottom wall including side walls extending outwardly from said bottom wall, said fiber management tray having a tray axis;
• a termination region having a first side and a second side, said termination region including a termination panel that holds connectors, said termination region extending along said tray axis;
• a hinge area for mounting said fiber management tray to a tray tower, said hinge area having a hinge axis perpendicular to said tray axis;
• a storage basket located between said termination region and said hinge area, said storage basket including a first pocket positioned on a front side of the fiber management tray, wherein the first pocket communicates with said second side of said termination region and an opposite second pocket positioned on a back side of the fiber management tray, wherein the second pocket communicates with said first side of said termination region, the fiber management tray defining a first fiber routing path having a first entrance adjacent and parallel to said hinge axis, said first fiber routing path leading to said first pocket, said fiber management tray also defining a second fiber routing path having a second entrance adjacent and parallel to said hinge axis, said second fiber routing path leading to said second pocket, wherein said first and second fiber routing paths do not overlap;
• a first cover attachable to said fiber management tray to cover said first pocket;
• a second cover attachable to said fiber management tray to cover said second pocket;
• and
• a fiber transition opening including a slit defined in a side wall of said second pocket, said fiber transition opening allowing optical fibers to be inserted therethrough for transitioning said optical fibers between said back side of said fiber management tray to said front side of said fiber management tray, wherein optical fibers are transitioned from said second pocket of said storage basket through said fiber transition opening to said first side of said termination region;
• wherein said storage basket includes fiber guide walls that define fiber routing paths, said fiber guide walls projecting downwardly from said second pocket and upwardly from said first pocket;
• wherein said first pocket of said storage basket forms a first storage area for storing loops of cable;
• and
• wherein said second pocket of said storage basket forms a second storage area for storing loops of cable.
