1. A fiber distribution hub comprising:
a cabinet defining an interior accessible through an open front;
a frame pivotally mounted to the cabinet to move relative to the cabinet between an open position and a closed position, the frame being fully disposed within the interior of the cabinet when in the closed position, the frame extending at least partially out of the cabinet when in the open position, the frame having a front side facing the open front of the cabinet when the frame is disposed in the closed position, the frame also having a rear side opposite the front side;
a power supply mounted to the frame to be carried with the frame between the open and closed positions; and
an active splitting module mounted to the frame to be carried with the frame as the frame moves between the open and closed positions, the active splitting module including a housing having a front face accessible from the front side of the frame, the active splitting module including a first de-mateable connection interface location and a plurality of second de-mateable connection interface locations disposed at the front face, the active splitting module being configured to split an optical signal received at the first de-mateable connection interface location and to provide the split optical signal at the second de-mateable connection interface locations, the active splitting module being coupled to the power supply.
