Abstract

An optical networking circuit pack is described. The circuit pack houses a plurality of pluggable electronic modules and includes an enclosure panel, a plurality of module identifiers, and a fiber management assembly. The enclosure panel has at least two collinear openings to receive electronic modules. The module identifiers reside on the enclosure panel and are proximate to a respective opening. Each module identifier is oriented at an angle with respect to an edge of the enclosure panel to facilitate association of pluggable electronic module with the respective opening regardless of whether the circuit pack is oriented in a horizontal position or a vertical position. The fiber management assembly is disposed at an end of the circuit pack to facilitate routing of optical fibers.
