A fiber optic adapter module and tray. The fiber optic adapter module supports fiber optic adapters for fiber optic connections. The fiber optic adapter module may be included on an extendible tray portion of a fiber optic equipment tray and selectively configured to be tilted when extended for providing enhanced access to the fiber optic adapter module. In one embodiment, an adapter module panel of the fiber optic adapter module that supports fiber optic adapters contains at least two forward facing panel surfaces angled to one another to provide more surface area for supporting a higher density of fiber optic adapters and/or for neat routing and organizing of fiber optic connections. One or more fourth flared panel surfaces may also be included on an end(s) of the adapter module panel to provide sufficient interior space for fiber optic connections adjacent or proximate to sides of the fiber optic equipment tray.

A ground retention apparatus is provided for deterring the theft of services from an outdoor pedestal. The ground retention apparatus includes a ground stake having a first end attached to the pedestal and a second end opposite the first end for engaging the ground beneath the pedestal. The ground retention apparatus further includes a stop plate secured to the ground stake medially between the first end and the second end. The stop plate defines a hinge line separating a lower portion that is stationary and an upper portion that is movable relative to the lower portion between a first position wherein the upper portion is generally parallel to the lower portion and a second position wherein the upper portion is angled relative to the lower portion. The stop plate prevents the ground stake from being removed from the ground, thereby deterring unauthorized access to the equipment inside the pedestal.
