Cable connector plate and method for interconnecting ends of fiber optic cable

A cable connector plate for interconnecting ends of fiber optic cable, comprising:

• (a) a base having opposing front and back sides;
• (b) at least three adapters secured to said base and having respective axially-aligned end portions extending outwardly from each of the front and back sides of said base for receiving and interconnecting ends of fiber optic cable in optical alignment, said adapters being arranged in a single column and longitudinally spaced-apart from one end of said base to the other;
• and
• (c) said adapters being disposed at respective distinct angles relative to a notional plane facing either of said front and back sides of said base, the angles being varied in predetermined increments from a first one of said adapters to a last one of said adapters.

In combination with a fiber optic cable management cabinet, a cable connector plate carried by a support frame mounted inside said cabinet, said connector plate comprising:

• (a) a base having opposing front and back sides;
• (b) at least three adapters secured to said base and having respective axially-aligned end portions extending outwardly from each of the front and back sides of said base for receiving and interconnecting ends of fiber optic cable in optical alignment;
• and
• (c) said adapters being disposed at respective distinct angles relative to a notional plane facing either of the front and back sides of said base.
