    Abstract: A mounting system for latching a cable management structure to a telecommunications fixture includes a first locking feature on the management structure defining first and second hook-like members separated apart, each defining a vertical slide portion and a larger vertical retention portion, the first locking feature including an elastically flexible latch between the first and second hook-like members. A second locking feature defining first and second slots is located on a planar wall of the telecommunications fixture, wherein the first and second slots define a receiver portion and a retention portion, the receiver portion for accommodating the retention portion of the hook-like members and the retention portion for accommodating the slide portion of the hook-like members, the second locking feature also defining a latch opening. The cable management structure also defines curvature that provides bend radius protection along at least two perpendicular planes.

    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.
