Fiber Management Panel

A telecommunications termination panel comprising:

• a housing including a top, a bottom, a first side and a second opposing side defining a front opening and a rear opening, the rear opening adjacent the first side, the rear opening being usable as a cable entry/exit into/from the housing, the first side of the housing also defining a side opening adjacent the front opening, the side opening being usable as a cable entry/exit into/from the housing;
• and
• a tray including a front wall, a rear wall, a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the tray pivotably mounted within the housing, the tray pivotable through the front opening of the housing between an open access position and a closed position wherein the front wall substantially blocks the front opening of the housing, the tray pivoting about a vertical axis located adjacent the first side of the housing, the tray defining a cable entry/exit opening adjacent the vertical pivot axis and a plurality of connection locations for connecting a first cable entering the housing to a second cable exiting the housing;
• wherein the housing includes a first cable trough defining a cable path extending from the rear opening toward the cable entry/exit opening of the tray for guiding cables between the rear opening and the tray when the termination panel is used as a rear entry or exit panel;
• wherein the tray includes a second trough defining a cable path extending from the cable entry/exit opening of the tray toward the rear wall of the tray, the second trough being pivotally disposed with respect to the first trough with the movement of the tray such that when the tray is in the open access position, the first and second troughs are generally perpendicular to each other and when the tray is in the closed position, the first and second troughs are parallel to each other with the second trough overlapping the first trough to prevent pinching of a cable extending from the rear opening of the housing to the tray if the panel is used as a rear entry or exit panel.
