`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`Attachment mechanisms configured to be employed to attach
`a rear housing section to a fiber optic housing, and related
`assemblies and methods are disclosed. The rear housing sec
`tion and the fiber optic housing may be part of fiber optic
`equipment configured to Support fiber optic connections of a
`fiber optic network. The attachment mechanism is configured
`to be attached and extend from the rear housing section of the
`fiber optic housing while maintaining the same installed U
`space of the housing. The attachment mechanism may
`include a spring plunger which may releasably maintain the
`rear housing section in a position to allow fasteners to remov
`ably attach the rear housing section to the fiber optic housing.
`In this manner, the rear housing section may be attached to
`and removed from the fiber optic housing in an efficient
`manner to minimize downtime for the fiber optic network.
