A fiber optic telecommunications frame is provided including panels having
front and rear termination locations, the panels positioned on left and
right sides of the frame. The frame includes vertical access for the rear
cables. The frame further includes left and right vertical cable guides
for the front patch cables. The frame further includes cable storage
spools for the patch cables. The frame includes a horizontal passage
linking the left and right panels and the cable guides. A lower portion of
the frame defines splice tray holders and a central passage from the
splice tray holders to the rear sides of the left and right panels. From a
front of each panel, access to a rear of the panel is provided by the
hinged panels. Alternatively, the panels can form connector modules with
front termination locations and rear connection locations for connecting
to the rear cables. The modules can house couplers, such as splitters,
combiners, and wave division multiplexers.
