Abstract
A connector sleeve assembly for an optical distribution frame has a connector sleeve that is capable of being angled relative to the splice tray on which it is installed to allow for easier access to one or both of the fiber optic connectors inserted into the sleeve. A panel also has a connector sleeve mounted in the plane of the panel, but capable of being angled out of the plane for easy access to the connectors inserted in the connector sleeve.
