Abstract
A fiber distribution frame includes a cabinet which houses fiber optic components. A door frame is connected to the cabinet for the door to close relative to a front face of the cabinet. The door frame surrounds an opened area which exposes the front face when the door is closed for the components to extend out from the cabinet. Brackets connect an inner door section to the door frame such that the door section is offset from the front face by a separation distance when the door is closed. The brackets have a sufficient length such that the separation distance permits the components to extend out of the cabinet and maintain a minimum bend radius without being compressed by the door section when the door is closed. A component router is connected to the cabinet and positioned within the separation distance for directing the components to outside of the cabinet.
