Abstract
A fiber optic cassette includes an enclosure having first and second generally planar outer walls, top and bottom walls, a rear wall, a plurality of standardized fiber optic connectors, and a movable latch that is anchored to enclosure. The movable latch includes a roof section that extends over the top wall and a pair of angled teeth that extend downwards from the roof section towards the bottom wall of the enclosure. The movable latch is configured to move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the roof section and the angled teeth are vertically spaced apart from the top wall. In the second position, the roof section is flush against the top wall, the first and second teeth overhang over the first and second outer walls, and the pair of angled teeth are disposed at an oblique angle relative to the bottom wall.
