FIBER CARRIER

A fiber carrier for retaining and organizing optical cables can include a frame structure including a base defining an open area and a cable retention station supported by the frame structure, the cable retention station being located above the open area. A method for joining fiber optic cables to fiber optic connectors can include providing a plurality of fiber optic connectors mounted to a carrier, mounting a fiber carrier to the carrier, the fiber carrier including a cable retention station, inserting fiber optic cables into the fiber optic connectors and securing the fiber optic cables to the fiber optic connectors with a curable material, and supporting each of the fiber optic cables at the fiber retentions station at least until the curable material has cured.
