Optical fiber distribution frame with connector modules

A fiber optic module adapted to be held by a frame, the fiber optic module comprising:

• a housing including two spaced-apart major sides extending parallel to one another, the major sides interconnected by two spaced-apart minor sides, extending parallel to one another, the major side the major and minor sides extending between front and rear ends of the housing, the front end of the housing defining front cable termination locations, the housing further including a rear notch extending between one of the minor sides and the rear end, the notch including a side segment defining an array of rear cable termination locations;
• a fiber optic coupler mounted within the housing;
• cables connecting the front and rear cable termination locations and the fiber optic couplers;
• and
• the front end defining an angled surface positioned at a non-perpendicular angle to the minor sides.

A fiber optic module adapted to be held by a frame, the fiber optic module comprising:

• a housing including two spaced-apart major sides extending parallel to one another, the major sides interconnected by two spaced-apart minor sides, extending parallel to one another, the major side the major and minor sides extending between front and rear ends of the housing, the front end of the housing defining front cable termination locations, the housing further including a rear notch extending between one of the minor sides and the rear end, the notch including a side segment defining an array of rear cable termination locations;
• wherein the side segment and the minor side associated with the notch are parallel surfaces;
• wherein the front end defines an angled surface positioned at a non-perpendicular angle to the minor sides;
• front flanges on opposite ends of the front end, each front flange including a fastener for fastening the front end of the housing to the frame;
• a side flange extending from one of the major sides adjacent to the minor side associated with the notch.

A fiber optic termination module comprising:

• a housing having first and second spaced apart ends, and first and second spaced apart sides extending between the ends, the housing including a rear extending between the first and second ends and the first and second sides to define an interior, the housing defining an open front, the first and second ends extending generally horizontally when the termination module is mounted to a telecommunications rack, the first and second sides extending generally vertically when the termination module is mounted to the telecommunications rack, the housing including a cable access opening for accessing the interior through one of the ends or sides;
• a main panel mounted to the open front, the main panel including an array of openings arranged and sized for holding adapters, the adapters being sized for mounting to cable connectors, wherein the main panel includes a plurality of sub-panels mounted so as to close the open front, each sub-panel including at least one opening arranged and sized for holding at least one adapter to define the termination locations, wherein the housing includes a plurality of spaced-apart interior shelves, and wherein each of the sub-panels further include a plurality of front adapters and a rear housing, each rear housing including a side panel including a plurality of adapters, a fiber optic coupler mounted within the rear housing, and cables connecting the front adapters to the side adapters;
• a cable guide for guiding a cable entering the housing at the cable access opening.
