ABSTRACT:
There is provided a fiber optic housing assembly that includes a fiber optic interconnection portion and/or a splice portion. To provide the technician convenient access to the interconnection portion and/or the splice portion, the slidable shelf portion includes a pivotable portion that allows the interconnection portion and/or splice portion to be moved upwards or downwards, such as by pivoting about an axis. Therefore, the technician can preferably manipulate the fiber optic cables and/or connectors at an upper portion of the equipment rack without using a step ladder or similar device and at the lower portion of the equipment rack with greater comfort. The pivotable portion includes locks, latches, pins, and/or the like to prevent unintentional movement of the pivotable portion relative to the shelf portion and/or exterior portion of the housing assembly.
