  • Publication number: 20120318691
    Abstract: A telecommunications device includes a main housing body having a major wall and a plurality of minor walls that extend outwardly from the major wall. A cover mounts to the main housing body at a location opposite the major wall. A connection interface is disposed between the cover and at least one of the minor walls. The connection interface allows the cover to be slid relative to the minor walls in a direction that is generally parallel to the major wall between an uncaptured position and a captured position. At least one telecommunications component is mounted within the main housing body. A first cable manager defines an opening for receiving a fiber optic cable. The first cable manager includes a first portion connected to the main housing body and a second portion connected to the cover.
