An improved interconnect and cross-connect equipment panel for telecommunications apparatus holds jack panel modules (20) with connections to their rear and connector modules (20) with interconnected front and rear connectors. Patch cords (52) are utilized at the rear of the panel to interconnect a jack panel module with a connector module so that telecommunications apparatus connected to the rear of a jack panel module is accessible from the front of a connector module.
