Abstract

A telecommunications patching system includes: a carrier having a generally vertically disposed carrier panel, the carrier panel including a cutout area; and a plurality of patching modules. Each of the patching modules has a main panel and a plurality of telecommunications connectors mounted thereon. The patching modules are inserted into the cutout area so that the main panels thereof are substantially parallel to each other, and so that the main panels define an oblique angle relative to vertical. In such a configuration port density can be increased over typical systems.
