Abstract

An optical fiber connector housing or facilitating the cross-connection or interconnection of optical fibers is provided having upper and lower plate members spaced apart from one another with the front edge of the lower plate member extending further forward than the front edge of the upper plate member. A connecter panel depends generally vertically downward from the front edge of the upper plate member thereby defining a shelf portion at the forward part of the lower plate member. A door is hingeably connected to the front edge of the lower plate member thereby defining a forward cable area, at least one side aperture, and at least one top aperture forward of the connector panel.
