Abstract:
1. A telecommunications module comprising: a module housing defining a base wall, a right wall, a left wall, a front face, a rear face, and a removable top cover cooperating with the base wall, the right wall, the left wall, and the front and rear faces to define an interior of the module; the front face defining a centerpoint, a right portion extending generally from the centerpoint to the right wall and a left portion extending generally from the centerpoint to the left wall, wherein the right and left portions are generally angled forwardly as they extend from the centerpoint toward the right and left walls of the module housing, respectively, the angle being an acute angle relative to a line that is perpendicular to the right and left walls of the module housing; and a plurality of adapters mounted to the front face, the adapters are provided in groups of two and are stacked in a direction extending from the removable top cover to the base wall of the module housing, the adapters mounted at receptacles defined on the right and left portions of the front face; wherein each of the right and left portions of the front face defines a slope as it extends from the centerpoint toward the right and left walls of the module housing, respectively, the angled right and left portions of the front face each defining a stepped configuration as they extend from the centerpoint toward the right and left walls of the module housing, respectively, such that each step in the stepped configuration defines the adapter receptacles; wherein the adapter receptacles define longitudinal axes that are parallel to each other and are also all at an acute angle with respect to a line that generally defines the slope of the angle of the right and left portions of the front face.
