Frame assemblies for optical fiber distribution elements

A mounting plate for removable mounting to a telecommunications frame, the mounting plate comprising:

• a first set of mounting features for allowing a first type of telecommunications device to be mounted to the mounting plate;
• and
• a second set of mounting features for allowing a second type of telecommunications device to be mounted to the mounting plate, the second type of telecommunications device defining a different width from a right side to a left side than the first type of telecommunications device, wherein the first set of mounting features and the second set of mounting features are provided on a single integral structure defining the mounting plate, wherein the first set of mounting features is provided on both a right side and a left side of the mounting plate and wherein the second set of mounting features is provided on both the right side and the left side of the mounting plate, wherein the mounting plate defines a flange positioned forwardly from a rear wall defined by the mounting plate at each of the right side and the left side of the mounting plate, the flange at each of the right side and the left side defining an abutment edge for limiting the amount of lateral movement of parts of the telecommunications devices to be mounted to the telecommunications frame caused by lateral forces applied to the telecommunications devices, wherein the first set of mounting features is provided in a vertically stacked arrangement on the flanges on both the right side and the left side of the mounting plate, and wherein the second set of mounting features is provided in a vertically stacked arrangement on both the right and left sides of the mounting plate set back from the flanges, wherein the spacing between the first set of mounting features provided on both the right and left sides of the mounting plate is different than the spacing between the second set of mounting features provided at the right and left sides of the mounting plate that are set back from the flanges, allowing the first type of telecommunications device to be mounted to the mounting plate via the first set of mounting features to have a different width than the second type of telecommunications device to be mounted to the mounting plate via the second set of mounting features.
