In a circuit card chassis, a backplane system includes card guides that are slideable on rails to provide any selected spacing between adjacent circuit cards. A backplane connector assembly extends between each pair of slideable top and bottom card guides. Signal cables can be configured to connect any two backplane connector assemblies to each other.

An optical communication module include a housing having a circuit element configured to provide an optical communication function, and a rotatable connector assembly coupled to the housing, the rotatable connector assembly configured to rotate between a first position and a second position, wherein when in the first position, the rotatable connector assembly allows the communication module to interface with a first form factor card cage and when in the second position, the rotatable connector assembly allows the communication module to interface with a second form factor card cage.

A fiber optic connector panel fits within a telecommunications fiber optic distribution cabinet and terminates and protects outside plant cables. A support panel is pivotally mounted into a telecommunications fiber optic distribution cabinet. A first cylindrically configured cable storage member is supported by the support panel and configured to store any slack fiber optic pigtails. A second cable storage member is supported by the support panel and configured to store any slack outside plant cable and jumpers. A fiber optic connector is supported by the support panel and configured to connect fiber optic pigtails and fiber optic jumpers. A splice storage member is supported by the support panel and configured to store fiber optic cable splices of the fiber optic pigtails and outside plant cable and jumpers of the fiber optic pigtails and outside plant cable and jumpers.
