A telecommunications cabinet includes an enclosure, a splitter mounted within the enclosure for splitting a fiber optic signal, a plurality of adjacently positioned adapter trays mounted within the enclosure, each tray being pivotable about an axis generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the enclosure and each adapter tray housing a plurality of adapters, the enclosure also including an excess cable storage structure for storing cables that are not connected by the adapters mounted on the adapter trays, the excess cable storage structure providing a termination location for fiber optic cables without providing a continuous optical path for the fiber optic signals.
