1. A fiber optic chassis comprising:
- a right rack mount portion and a left rack mount portion and at least one slide extending between the right and left rack mount portions, one of the right rack mount portion and the left rack mount portion defining at least a part of a hinge structure for pivotally mounting the fiber optic chassis to a telecommunications fixture;
a plurality of modules mounted on the chassis along a horizontal stack extending between the right and left rack mount portions, each of the modules slidable on the slide along a direction extending between the right and left rack mount portions, wherein each module includes at least one slide hole that is completely surrounded around its periphery, the at least one slide hole extending through the module and defining open ends that are aligned along the direction extending between the right and left rack mount portions, the at least one slide hole configured to receive the slide of the chassis for allowing the module to be slidable between the right and left rack mount portions, each module configured to receive fiber optic equipment defining fiber optic connection locations.

Abstract
A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a frame defining a right vertical support and a left vertical support. A chassis is mounted to the right and left vertical supports, wherein the chassis is configured to pivot about a pivot axis that is defined by one of the right and left vertical supports. A plurality of modules are mounted on the chassis, each of the modules slidable on the chassis along a direction extending between the right and left vertical supports, wherein the chassis is configured to pivot about a plane parallel to the sliding direction of the modules, each module defining fiber optic connection locations.
