Abstract
A telecommunications module includes a main housing with an optical component within an interior of the main housing and a fiber optic adapter block coupled to the main housing, the adapter block including a one-piece main body including a top wall and a bottom wall, the adapter block defining a plurality of openings extending from a front end to a rear end of the main body, each opening defining a separate adapter, each opening defining a longitudinal axis, the adapters being configured to receive connectorized cables extending from the optical component within the interior of the main housing, the adapter block including at least one guide rail extending generally between the top wall and the bottom wall of the main body, the guide rail configured for slidably mounting the fiber optic telecommunications module to a telecommunications device once the adapter block has been coupled to the main housing, wherein the main housing includes an integrally formed pivotable latching arm configured to pivot for selectively latching and unlatching the telecommunications module for slidable movement with respect to the telecommunications device.
