ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber distribution module has a panel formed with a plurality of parallel lands having undercuts for releasably attaching a plurality of optical fiber connectors, each of which forms a bridge across the panel. The lands have sufficient length to permit two of the connectors to be attached to the same lands with a jacketed optical fiber from each of said connectors passing beneath the bridge defined by the other connector. When a large number of the connectors are attached to the panel, the passage of some optical fibers beneath such bridges helps to organize, route, and identify the interconnected optical fibers.
