A unitary tray for operably supporting a fiber-optic module is disclosed. The tray includes a guide base and guide rails that define a central channel sized to accommodate the fiber-optic module. The fiber-optic module can be slid into a central module position from the back or the front of the tray, and then locked in the central module position. Opposing unitary side guides with slotted channels can be used to form a drawer that holds one or more of the trays. The drawers can be used to form fiber-optic equipment such as an interconnection unit that supports the modules and that allows for conveniently making multiple optical fiber interconnections.
1. A tray for operably supporting a fiber-optic module that has a central axis and alignment rails, the tray comprising: a base having front and back ends, a top side and opposite edges;parallel guide rails adjacent the edges that define a central open channel sized to accommodate the fiber-optic mo
1. A tray for operably supporting a fiber-optic module that has a central axis and alignment rails, the tray comprising: a base having front and back ends, a top side and opposite edges;parallel guide rails adjacent the edges that define a central open channel sized to accommodate the fiber-optic module;front and back insertion guides respectively formed in the parallel guide rails and configured to receive, support and align the fiber-optic module within the central open channel;central guiding features formed on opposing inside surfaces of the parallel guide rails between the front and back insertion guides, the central guiding features being configured to receive the fiber-optic module and guide the fiber-optic module to a central module position within the tray; andwherein the tray is formed as a unitary, molded structure from a single piece of material. 2. The tray according to claim 1, further comprising a fiber-optic module locking feature formed on one of the guide rails and configured to operably engage a portion of the fiber-optic module to lock the module in the center module position. 3. The tray according to claim 1, further comprising front and back access openings formed in the base. 4. The tray according to claim 1, wherein the front and back insertion guides are configured so that the fiber-optic module can be lowered onto either the front or back insertion guide from the front side of the base and then slid into the central module position. 5. The tray according to claim 1, further comprising flexures formed on the respective edges of the base. 6. A drawer for fiber-optic equipment, comprising: the tray of claim 5; andfirst and second opposing unitary side guides configured to slidingly engage the edges of the tray. 7. The drawer according to claim 6, wherein each of the side guides includes at least one channel, and wherein the side guides are configured so that the edges of the tray are slidingly engaged by the respective channels of the opposing side guides. 8. The drawer according to claim 7, wherein each channel includes a plurality of slots, and wherein the flexure engages one of the slots to define a corresponding plurality of tray positions relative to the side guides. 9. The drawer according to claim 7, further comprising multiple trays and a housing having an interior that contains the side guides and the multiple trays. 10. A tray for operably supporting a fiber-optic module that has a central axis and alignment rails, the tray comprising: a flat and generally rectangular base having front and back ends, a top side, and opposite edges;a pair of substantially parallel guide rails extending upwardly from the base and residing inboard of the edges, the guide rails having front and back ends and inside surfaces that define, along with a central portion of the base, a central open channel having a central axis and sized to accommodate the fiber-optic module;front and back insertion guides respectively formed in the inside surfaces of the guide rails adjacent the front and back ends and configured to receive and support the fiber-optic module alignment rails and substantially align the central axis of the alignment module with the central axis of the central open channel;central guiding features formed on the inside surfaces of the guide rails between the front and back insertion guides, the central guiding features being configured to receive the alignment rails of the fiber-optic module and guide the fiber-optic module to a central position within the tray; andwherein the tray is formed as a unitary structure from a single piece of material. 11. The tray according to claim 10, further comprising a fiber-optic-module locking feature formed on one of the guide rails between the front insertion guide and the central guiding features, the fiber-optic-module locking feature being configured to operably engage a portion of the fiber-optic module to lock the module in a center module position. 12. The tray according to claim 10, further comprising the fiber-optic module. 13. The tray according to claim 10, wherein the front and back insertion guides each include ledges upon which the alignment rails rest when the fiber-optic module is inserted into the tray from the top side at the front end or the back end of the tray, respectively. 14. The tray according to claim 10, further comprising tongues formed on the respective edges of the base, the tongues having formed therein respective flexures. 15. A drawer for fiber-optic equipment, comprising: the tray of claim 14; andfirst and second opposing unitary side guides, each having at least one channel configured to receive and slidingly engage the tongues of the tray, with each channel having front, center and rear slots configured to operably engage at least a portion of the flexure so that the tray can be locked in either a front tray position, a center tray position or a back tray position relative to the side guides and unlocked from a given one of the tray positions by flexing the flexure. 16. The drawer according to claim 15, wherein each flexure has a front-position detent and a rear-position detent, with a locking detent therebetween. 17. The drawer according to claim 16, wherein the side guides include multiple channels and the drawer supports multiple trays. 18. The drawer according to claim 17, further comprising the fiber-optic modules operably arranged one in each of the trays, with each module having a plurality of front-end adapters and a single multi-fiber back end adapter. 19. The drawer of claim 18, further comprising one or more jumpers operably connected to the corresponding one or more front-end adapters and a multi-fiber fiber-optic cable operably connected to the back-end multi-fiber connector. 20. The drawer of claim 18, further comprising a housing having an interior that operably supports the drawer to form an interconnection equipment unit.
