A chassis for fiber optics communication equipment, having a housing with first and second opposing sides, and a back panel cooperating with the housing to provide fore-and-aft slots for cassettes containing optical communication equipment. A remote use r interface module for making connections to other items of equipment, and a local user interfa ce module for display of conditions in the cassettes, are situated at opposite sides of the housin g, and are both connected to the base by docking stations which allow these modules to be interchanged in position so that either of the first or second sides of the housing may become the front of t he chassis; i.e. may be adjacent the local user interface module. This allows the chassis to be reversible so that the cassettes can be removed either from the front or from the rear of the chass is while the local user interface module remains at the front of the chassis.
