Abstract
Displaceable card guides for use with high packing ratio housings for network tap modules. The housing allows the user to maintain all network taps in any given system in one housing and location. This increases the ease of maintaining multiple network taps and allows the network tap modules to be powered by a power supply included with the housing. The displaceable card guides enable a set network tap modules to be housed in a single housing with negligible or no spacing between adjacent modules. In addition, these card guides the associated housing are generally applicable to a number of other types of modular electrical or optical components.
