1. A telecommunications system, comprising:
- a) a telecommunications rack defining a plurality of rack unit spaces to which telecommunications equipment mounts; and
b) an interface panel mounted within one of the rack unit spaces, the interface panel including;
i) a stationary tray mounted in a generally horizontal orientation;
ii) a splice arrangement mounted to the tray; and
iii) at least one splitter module mounted to the tray;
iv) wherein each of the splice arrangement and the splitter module is separately slidable relative to the tray to provide access to the splice arrangement without requiring movement of the splitter module relative to the tray, and to provide access to the splitter module without requiring movement of the splice arrangement relative to the tray.

9. A telecommunications system, comprising:
-
a) a telecommunications rack defining a plurality of rack unit spaces to which telecommunications equipment mounts; and b) an interface panel fixedly mounted within one of the rack unit spaces, the interface panel including; i) a stationary tray mounted in a generally horizontal orientation; and ii) a splicing arrangement including a splice tray slidably mounted to the tray of the interface panel, the splice tray being configured to slide in a linear direction toward a front of the interface panel to provide access to splices mounted on the splice tray when telecommunications equipment is mounted in the rack unit space above the interface panel, the sliding splice tray providing such access without requiring movement of other components mounted to the tray. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
