Abstract

The invention relates to a fiber optic telecommunications module (100) comprising: a main housing portion (102) including a top wall (108), a bottom wall (110), a first transverse sidewall (106), a rear wall (112), an open front end (120), and an open second side (116), the main housing portion (102) including an optical component (130); a cover portion (104, 104a) coupled to the main housing portion (102) to close up the open second side (116) of the main housing portion (102) and keep the optical component (130) within the main housing portion (102); a first fiber optic adapter module (316) and a second fiber optic adapter module (316) removably coupled to the main housing portion (102) to close the open front end (120) of the main housing portion (102), the first and second fiber optic adapter modules (316) being provided in a stacked arrangement in a direction extending from the first transverse (106) sidewall toward the cover portion (104, 104a); wherein each of the first and second fiber optic adapter modules includes a plurality of fiber optic adapters (340) which are configured to receive connectorized cables extending from the optical component (130) within the main housing portion (102), each adapter (340) defining a longitudinal axis (A_A) that is parallel to the top and bottom walls (108, 110) of the main housing portion (102), each of the first and second fiber optic adapter modules (316) including at least one guide rail (508) extending between the top wall (108) and the bottom wall (110) of the main housing portion (102), the guide rail (508) being configured for slidably mounting the fiber optic telecommunications module (100) to a first telecommunications device, wherein the guide rail (508) is configured for sliding the fiber optic telecommunications module (100) along a direction that is non-parallel to the longitudinal axes (A_A) of the adapters (340) and to a fiber optic assembly and a method of mounting a telecommunications module (100) to a piece of telecommunications equipment.
