Abstract: An assembly for managing cables in a telecommunications installation where the cable management troughs directing cables from telecommunications equipment mounted to an equipment rack to a vertical cable way allow air flow into a ventilation space located between the equipment rack and the vertical cable way. A cable management trough with front and rear walls and a floor, wherein the floor increases in width from a first end to a second end and the front and rear walls decreases in height from the first end to the second end. A releasable hinge for mounting a door to a telecommunications rack and a slide movable between a captive and a retracted position. Placing the slide in the captive position prevents the door from being lifted from the hinge and placing the slide in a retracted position permits the door to be removed from the rack.

Abstract: A patch panel mountable to a network rack includes a frame and rack mounting plates. The frame forms a central section having a longitudinal width sized to fit within the network rack, a predefined height, a front side, and a rear side. The rack mounting plates are provided on opposite longitudinal ends of the central section and allow the panel to be mounted to a network rack. The central section is angled outwardly in an inverted V-shape. The central section has mountable thereon a plurality of cable connectors that receive cabling on the front side and the rear side of the patch panel frame. When mounted, the plurality of cable connectors are oriented to have rear surfaces thereof face a common axis of the central section. This provides front connector surfaces that are better oriented relative to front side cabling, which is provided along vertical cable managers or ducts near front edges of the rack rails. This orientation provides a more natural flow of cables entering the patch panel and reduce bending angles to less than 90null, which reduces or eliminates the need for external horizontal cable management on the front side of the patch panel while maintaining adequate bend radius control. Moreover, the angled frame provides an angled surface that has increased port capacity as compared to a conventional flat-faced patch panel and has an increased volume behind the panel for receiving and housing cabling. A support bar may be provided on the rear side of the patch panel to support the weight of the exiting cabling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to telecommunications equipment racks including vertical cable guides, horizontal troughs, cross aisle panels and cross-connection modules for telecommunications equipment racks. The vertical cable guides define vertical cable channels for both network infrastructure and cross-connection cables. The structure defining the second cable channel is hingedly attached to the structure defining the first cable channel. The horizontal cable troughs include both upper and lower troughs. The upper cable trough defines two cableways for directing cross-connection and other cables, and provides access openings for cables to pass into and out of each cableway and between the two cableways. The lower cable trough defines a cableway and provides access openings for cables extending into and out of the cableway. Cable troughs attached to adjacently mounted equipment racks cooperate to form continuous horizontal cableways. The cross aisle panel includes movable cable guide structures to permit access to connectors mounted on the panel. The cross-connection modules provide multiple connector planes on the rear of the module to increase the number of circuits the module can support.
