Abstract
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.
