1. A shelf detection system for a fiber distribution frame comprising:

  • an upright support member extending between upper and lower ends;

    at least one shelf releasably mounted on the upright support member at a selected location;

    a plurality of detectors spaced apart along the upright support member, the detectors being operatively linked with a controller associated with the fiber distribution frame; and

    a medium detectable by ones of the detectors disposed on the shelf and arranged to be within a detection field of a proximately located detector when the shelf is mounted on the upright support member;

    wherein a detection of the detectable medium by the proximally located detector is communicated to the controller and translated thereby to a location in the fiber distribution frame for the shelf.
