1. A cable routing storage assembly for a data communication system chassis, the assembly comprising:
a shuttle including:
a front end,
a back end opposite the front end,
a first side extending a length between the front end and the back end,
a first coupling member disposed on the first side of the shuttle such that, when installed in the chassis, the first coupling member is couplable to a first cassette,
a second side, opposite the first side, extending the length between the front end and the back end,
a second coupling member disposed on the second side of the shuttle such that, when installed in the chassis, the second coupling member is couplable to a second cassette,
a base portion spanning between the first side of the shuttle and the second side of the shuttle, and
a slot defined within the base portion and arranged between the first side of the shuttle and the second side of the shuttle, the slot extending from the back end of the shuttle along a portion of the length of the shuttle to a point proximate to the front end of the shuttle such that the base portion at the back end of the shuttle is separated between the first side and the second side, the slot being sized to slideably receive a mounting structure disposed in the chassis,
wherein, when the first coupling member is coupled to the first cassette and the second coupling member is coupled to the second cassette, the first cassette and the second cassette are coplanar.
