A splitter module mounting location is positioned on the frame. The splitter module mounting location is adapted to mount a splitter arrangement including splitter pigtails to the frame. A first termination field includes a plurality of fiber optic adapters, each being configured to couple one of the splitter pigtails to a distribution cable. A second termination field includes a plurality of fiber optic adapters, each being configured to couple one of the splitter pigtails to a drop cable. A pivoting cover arrangement can be mounted to a top of the support frame to inhibit contact between the splitter arrangement and the cover when the cover is mounted to or removed from the base.
