  • Patent number: 10182512
    Abstract: A telecommunications system is disclosed herein. The telecommunications system includes a chassis defining a top end, a bottom end, and a generally pyramidal shape, wherein a transverse cross-sectional footprint of the chassis changes in outer dimension as the transverse cross-sectional footprint extends from the top end to the bottom end, the telecommunications chassis further defining at least one sidewall, the at least one sidewall extending at an angle to both the top end and the bottom end, the at least one sidewall defining ports defining connection locations for receiving telecommunications equipment.

  • Patent number: 9986654
    Abstract: A telecommunications chassis is configured for receiving telecommunications equipment. The chassis defines a top, a bottom, a front side, a rear side, a right side, and a left side. The chassis defines a central longitudinal axis extending between the top and the bottom. A first pair of panels is located at the front side, a second pair of panels is located at the rear side, a third pair of panels is located at the right side, and a fourth pair of panels is located at the left side. Each panel defines a plurality of receptacles for receiving the telecommunications equipment. When mounted to a fixed surface, the chassis is rotatable relative to the fixed surface about the central longitudinal axis. Each panel is pivotable away from the other panel of the any given pair of panels about a pivot axis parallel to the central longitudinal axis.
