An optical connector adapter mount for mounting optical connectors to a panel. The mount comprises a frame with a mounting section for attaching the mount to the panel. The frame has a housing section with an aperture adapted for connecting at least one multi-fiber optical connector with at least a row of multiple optical fibers to the housing section. The aperture in the housing has an axis of symmetry which is slanted relative to the mounting section. The axis of symmetry of the aperture is angled relative to a normal axis of panel when the mounting section is mounted to the panel. The connector connected to the housing section is oriented with the row of multiple optical fibers aligned generally vertically.
