An RF management system especially suitable for use in CATV head end environments is disclosed. The system is characterized by a basic rack-mountable chassis component that can be configured for both front and rear mount applications, for different cable management solutions and for accepting eighteen passive RF modules or nine active RF modules or a combination of passive and active RF circuit modules. The active configuration of the chassis has an integrated power bus with at least nine connectors for receiving up to nine active RF circuit modules. The active RF circuit modules, such as power supplies and amplifiers are each provided with a "floating" connector for ease in connecting the power supply module or amplifier module to the power bus. The RF power supply module is capable of supplying power to all the active RF modules in the chassis as well as to active RF modules mounted in one or more other chassis in the rack.
