ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a module for terminating and connecting optical fiber telecommunications cables including connection locations located on a bulkhead pivotably mounted to an open front of a housing. The bulkhead also includes a cable management structure which moves with the bulkhead as the bulkhead pivots. The module may be mounted to a telecommunications equipment rack directly mounting locations on vertical supports of the rack Alternatively, the module may be mounted to a telecommunications equipment rack in concert with a cable slack storage structure which also fits between the vertical supports of the rack and which provides a mounting location for mounting the module. A plurality of modules may be mounted to the telecommunications equipment rack and cable guides mounted to the side of each module cooperate to define a vertical cable channel for directing telecommunications cables to a and from each of the modules mounted to the rack. A method of loading cables into a connection module including extending the cable into the interior of the module and through a cable route to a pivotably mounted bulkhead to which is mounted a cable management structure and from the cable management structure to a connection location on the bulkhead.
