A patch panel comprising:
- a frame;
- and
- a plurality of pairs of trays supported by the frame and stacked in a first direction, each of the pairs of trays configured to receive respective pairs of cable connection terminals so that, for each pair of cable connection terminals received by a pair of trays, one of the cable connection terminals is received by a first tray of the pair of trays, a second of the cable connection terminals is received by a second tray of the pair of trays, and the first cable connection terminal and the second cable connection terminal are configured to be communicatively coupled to each other by an intermediate cable such that the cable connection terminals extend outward from each other in a direction of a first axis,
- wherein the first tray of the pair of trays is adapted to slide between a first tray-in position and at least one first tray-out position by sliding parallel to, or substantially parallel, to trays in other pairs of the plurality of pairs of trays while the second tray of the pair of trays does not move.
