Many local area networks and telecommunication systems utilize termination panels to provide cross-connections between telecommunications equipment. Demand for greater telecommunication services has prompted the increase in circuit densities of termination panels. Notwithstanding the advances made in the art, there is a continuous need for further advances to improve upon high-density termination panels and associated methods. Improvements are needed, for example, to enhance termination access and cable management associated with installation, maintenance, repair, upgrade, and cross-connection procedures related to termination panels.
