Fiber optic component tray

A structure for holding an optical component on a fiber management tray, the structure comprising:

• a first group of retaining members including a plurality of substantially parallel retaining members that cooperate to define elongated pockets for receiving optical components, the elongated pockets being defined between the retaining members, the retaining members having cantilevered configurations with fixed base ends, the retaining members having heights that project upwardly from the base ends to free ends, the retaining members being configured to flex to allow optical components to be inserted into the pockets, the retaining members including heads at their free ends, the heads including upwardly facing first and second cam surfaces that converge as the first and second cam surfaces extend upwardly toward apexes of the heads, each of the heads including two downwardly facing retention surfaces that extend over separate ones of the elongated pockets;
• and
• a second group of retaining members including a plurality of substantially parallel cantilevered retaining members that cooperate to define elongated pockets for receiving optical components, the elongated pockets being defined between the cantilevered retaining members, the cantilevered retaining members having lengths that extend along lengths of the pockets, the cantilevered retaining members having cantilevered configurations with fixed base ends, the cantilevered retaining members having heights that project upwardly from the base ends to free ends, the cantilevered retaining members being configured to flex to allow optical components to be inserted into the pockets, each of the cantilevered retaining members including a concave side that faces downwardly and a convex side that faces upwardly, each of the pockets having a first side defined by the concave side of one cantilevered retaining member and a second side defined by the convex side of an adjacent cantilevered retaining member.
