Claim:
A device for organizing an array of fiber optic connectors by receiving dust covers for the fiber optic connectors, said device comprising: an elongated base plate defining an array of sites for retaining the fiber optic connector dust covers, the base plate having first and second ends; each of said sites being configured to receive one of said dust covers, said dust covers being removably mountable to the base plate at said sites; and a pair of stacking spacers securable to said ends of said base plate to extend upwardly therefrom, said stacking spacers further being securable to a second said base plate configured to mount dust covers thereto, thereby enabling stacking of the two said base plates into a multi-level array of fiber optic connector dust cover sites; wherein each of said stacking spacers includes latching sections cooperable with corresponding latching sections of at least one of said two base plates to be securable thereto, and wherein each of said stacking spacers includes a pair of opposed latching arms extending from first and second opposing ends of said stacking spacers for latching with the corresponding latching sections of each said base plate.
