`ABSTRACT
`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.
