Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods are provided for facilitating cable management. More particularly, an adjustable cable management bar is provided including a plurality of mounting brackets, a plurality of fasteners and a support member having a plurality of mounting flanges for translational association with said mounting brackets by means of said fasteners. Thus, the mounting brackets may be used to secure the support member in an adjustable arrangement relative to a patch panel. The cable management bar may be coupled with one or more swiveling cable management clips each clip including a top element, defining a channel for receipt of patch cables, a bottom element, having a clasp mechanism for effecting a translationaly relationship with the cable management bar and a shaft for rotationally relating the top element relative to the bottom element. Thus, a user may adjust the position and/or orientation of the clip to direct the patch cables as desired.

Abstract: An angled patch panel is provided that is configured to be mounted to a rack or console. The angled patch panel facilitates cable management functions and enhances space utilization at and around the rack/patch panel assembly. The angled patch panel includes first and second patch panel elements that are angularly oriented with respect to each other. The transition from the first patch panel element to the second patch panel element is generally achieved in an apex region. The angled patch panel also includes flange members that extend from the first and second patch panel elements. Each of the flange members define a mounting face and an extension arm that is intermediate the mounting face and the patch panel element. The extension arm is dimensioned to facilitate at least partial recessing of the angled patch panel relative to the rack/console when the angled patch panel is mounted thereto.
