A telecommunications device including a chassis having a housing in which
a plurality of splitter devices are contained. The housing includes top
and bottom walls, front and back ends, and opposing sides. A circuit
board is positioned at the back end of the housing. The circuit board
includes a front face that faces toward the front end of the housing. The
circuit board also includes an upper portion that extends higher than the
top wall of the housing and a lower portion that extends lower than the
bottom wall of the housing. First telecommunications connectors are
mechanically coupled to the front face of the circuit board at the upper
portion, and second telecommunications connectors are mechanically
coupled to the front face of the circuit board at the lower portion. The
chassis of the telecommunications device defines upper open side regions
for allowing cables to be routed laterally from adjacent the sides of the
chassis to the first telecommunications connectors. The upper open side
regions are located above the top wall of the card housing and adjacent
to the back end of the card housing.
