1. A fiber optic panel assembly, comprising:
a curved support plate having a front surface with a convex configuration having a radius of curvature; and
a plurality of apertures within the curved support plate, wherein each aperture of the plurality of apertures is configured to receive a respective adaptor,
wherein each aperture of the plurality of apertures forms a plane tangential to the front surface, and
wherein each aperture of the plurality of apertures is positioned such that an axis running through a respective aperture in a direction perpendicular to the tangential plane of the respective aperture forms an acute angle with another axis running through an adjacent aperture in a direction perpendicular to the tangential plane of the adjacent aperture.
