Telecommunications chassis and associated modules for use with the
telecommunications chassis are disclosed. Embodiments of the
telecommunications chassis include structures such as horizontal channels
and/or horizontal surfaces with ridges and/or slots in one surface and
slots in ridges of another for receiving edges of modules that mount
within the chassis. Other structures of embodiments include divider slots
in the horizontal surfaces that receive edges of divider walls to fix the
divider walls in place, heat baffle surfaces included within the chassis,
and/or cable guides with radius limiters. Module embodiments include
structures such as faceplates with angled portions with fiber optic cable
connections directed toward the fiber cable's direction of travel. Other
module structures include shells that enclose the circuit board and/or
provide angled portions with fiber optic cable connections. Module
embodiments may also include circuitry for converting electrical signals
to optical and optical signals to electrical, and the circuitry may
selectively operate at multiple data rates.
