1. A tray suitable for holding an optoelectronic device during printed circuit board manufacturing processes, comprising:
a tray body having an inset for receiving the optoelectronic device;
a plurality of positioners for the optoelectronic device within the inset, configured to engage a portion of an outer periphery of the optoelectronic device; and
a guide channel about a perimeter of the tray body suitable for receiving optical fibers of the optoelectronic device when the optoelectronic device is received in the inset, the guide channel comprising at least one retainer for retaining received ones of the optical fibers therewithin.
