1. A fiber port management system comprising:
a housing having a plurality of low density fiber connectors arranged as paired fiber connectors and a plurality of high density fiber connectors;
a plurality of cables within the housing, each of the plurality of cables connects one of the plurality of high density fiber connectors to at least one of the paired fiber connectors;
at least one indicator associated with each of the paired fiber connectors;
at least one indicator associated with each of the plurality of high density fiber connectors; and
a controller within the housing and used to control the operation of the at least one indicator associated with each paired fiber connector based upon a status associated with the paired fiber connectors, wherein control the operation of the at least one indicator associated with each paired fiber connector includes controlling a color of the at least one indicator and controlling a blinking pattern of the at least one indicator, and the controller is used to control the operation of the at least one indicator associated with each of the plurality of high density fiber connectors based upon a status associated with the plurality of high density fiber connectors, wherein control the operation of the at least one indicator associated with each of the plurality of high density fiber connectors includes controlling a color of the at least one indicator and controlling a blinking pattern of the at least one indicator.
