The invention relates to replaceable modules for use in optical fiber distribution racks. The modules according to the present invention are mounted in the distribution rack at a slight angle, which enables a simple and effective latching mechanism to connect and disconnect the module therefrom using one hand. Moreover, a preferred embodiment of the present invention minimizes the required size of the module by positioning the input ports at an angle to the remainder of the module body, which has the added benefit of directing the attached cables away from the latching mechanism providing enfettered access thereto. The optical fiber distribution rack according to the present invention includes a sliding lower tray with a sliding upper frame member, whereby full access to both the tray and the frame member are provided.
