Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a telecommunications optical fiber management tray that provides enhanced access to connectors and adapters. In one example, a fiber optic telecommunications tray is disclosed which has movable components that can configure the tray between a storage position and an access position. In the storage position, one or more fiber optic connectors and a fiber containment wall extending from a base of the tray are positioned such that a port of a connector mounted to the tray has a longitudinal axis that passes through the fiber containment wall. In the access position, the one or more fiber optic connectors and the fiber containment wall are position such that the connector port longitudinal axis does not pass through the fiber containment wall. In the access position, adapters can be inserted or removed from the tray-mounted connectors without a line-of-sight obstruction from the fiber containment wall.
