An adapter has two adapter members, each of the members having a body with an inner side, and outer side, and two ends. Two mounting members extend from the two ends along the outer side of the adapter member. A panel mounting portion is disposed along the inner side of the adapter member, the panel mounting portion includes an angled slot with opposing walls, the slot being dimensioned to receive the ends of the panel. Two recesses extend along each of the opposing walls, the recesses being aligned with each other and with the securing hole. The adapter members are received along both of the ends of the panel, the mounting members being received within adjacent parallel latching arms of a telecommunications box, such that the fiber optic connectors are angled within the box.
