A telecommunications frame assembly includes a frame for housing a first set of fiber optic distribution devices in a vertically stacked arrangement on a right side of the frame and a second set of fiber optic distribution devices in a vertically stacked arrangement on a left side of the frame, wherein the frame defines top and bottom openings adjacent the outer edges of the frame at each of the right side and the left side for selectively leading cables to or from the fiber optic distribution devices to be mounted on the frame, the frame further defining a central vertical trough extending from a central top opening defined by the frame, wherein radius limiters are provided in vertically stacked arrangements at each of the right side and the left side of the frame for selectively guiding cabling between the first set and the second set of fiber optic distribution devices, wherein the radius limiters allow cabling to pass through the central trough between the right and left sides of the frame and/or into the central trough from either of the right and left sides of the frame for selective routing from or to the central top opening, the frame further defining a bottom trough that extends horizontally between the right and left sides of the frame, wherein each of the bottom openings adjacent the outer edges of the frame at the right and left sides communicate with the bottom trough and wherein the radius limiters at each of the right side and the left side of the frame also allow cabling to pass from the fiber optic distribution devices to the bottom trough.

A method of mounting a telecommunications frame () to a floor surface includes fixing a floor mounting template () to the floor surface, wherein the template () defines a front end () and a rear end () and first and second sides () extending therebetween, sliding the telecommunications frame () over the floor mounting template () in a direction extending from the front end () to the rear end () of the template, wherein the template () is positioned within a gap () defined by spaced-apart walls () of the telecommunications frame (), and securing the first side () of the floor mounting template () to a first portion of the telecommunications frame () and securing the second side () of the floor mounting template () to a second portion of the telecommunications frame ().

A cable fixation bracket and methods for securing cables to a cable fixation bracket are disclosed. The cable fixation bracket can include a base portion extending between a pair of mounting structures. A plurality of t-shaped cable fixation projections extending orthogonally from the base portion can be provided, each of which is configured to support a cable and to accept a cable tie. In some examples, the fixation projections are tapered. The cable fixation bracket can also include a bridge portion supporting a plurality of bracket structures for anchoring aramid yarn of the cables. The bracket structures are configured such that aramid yarn of the cables can be wrapped around the bracket structures and returned to the fixation projections or such that the aramid yarn can be wrapped about a termination unit with the termination unit being mounted between a pair of adjacent cable structures.
