1. A telecommunications patch panel for connecting patch cords, comprising:
- a panel frame including a first panel side, a second panel side, and first and second ends; and
at least one first jack assembly including a first jack defining a first port disposed at a first angle in relation to the first panel side, and at least one second jack defining a second port disposed at a second angle in relation to the second panel side, the first jack being electrically connected to the second jack to form a jack pair such that the first port of the first jack forms a 90-degree angle with respect to the second port of the second jack;
wherein the first port of the first jack and the second port of the second jack are each angled towards the first end of the panel frame so that patch cords extending from plugs engaged with the first and second jacks can be routed towards the first end of the panel frame.
