Abstract

A hinge structure (2202) for pivotally mounting a first telecommunications element (2256) to a second telecommunications element (2224/2210) includes a hinge pin (2203) provided on the first element (2256) and a hinge pin receiver (2204) provided on the second element (2224/2210). The hinge pin (2203) defines a notch (2206) separating the pin (2203) into two pin halves (2205). The hinge pin receiver (2204) defines two sets of opposing surfaces (2214), the two sets (2214) separated by a divider (2212), the divider (2212) configured to be accommodated by the notch (2206) when the hinge pin (2203) is inserted into the hinge pin receiver (2204), wherein each opposing surface set (2214) defines a slot (2213) for receiving each pin half (2205).
