  • Patent number: 8744228
    Abstract: A communications interconnection system includes: a communications rack having a pair of upright members; a patch panel mounted to the upright members, the patch panel having mounting locations for telecommunications connectors; and a cable management system mounted to the rack. The cable management system comprises a cable mounting member having a cable securing portion and a pair of arms attached to the cable securing portion, the arms being substantially parallel to each other and slidably mounted relative to the panel to enable adjustment of the distance between the cable securing portion and the communications rack. This configuration can enable the cable management system to be used with communications racks of different sizes and designs.

  • Patent number: 8254742
    Abstract: A splice holder includes a base member and a plurality of high wall pairs on top of the base member each having first and second wall members spaced by a first distance, and adjacent ones of the high wall pairs are spaced by a distance less than the first distance. A first plurality of low wall pairs project from the base member on one side of the high wall pairs, and a second plurality of low wall pairs project from the base member on the other side. The first and second plurality of low wall pairs are shorter than the high wall pairs. The splice holder is configured to support a first level of splices running through the low wall pairs and high wall pairs in between and a second level of splices running through the high wall pair and supported on top of two low wall pairs.

  • Publication number: 20090059552
    Abstract: A cable gland holder includes a base member and a core for holding a plurality of cable glands. In one embodiment, a plate is removably attached to the core. In another embodiment, more than one plate is attached to the core. Each plate has a grooved edge presenting a series of grooves to which cable glands may be attached. The holder may be attached to a vertical or horizontal raceway of a network rack to assist in protecting and organizing the cables within the raceway.

  • Publication number: 20090025977
    Abstract: A removable cable gland includes a two-piece fitting which may be laterally assembled over a cable, as opposed to a cable being fed through an opening in the fitting. A two-piece compression nut may also be laterally assembled over the cable. The two pieces of the compression nut are slid together along a longitudinal direction of the cable by a tongue and groove arrangement. The two pieces of the fitting are plugged together in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable. Once first threads of the fitting are engaged to second threads of the compression nut, the two-piece fitting is locked together by the surrounding compression nut. Simultaneously, the two-piece compression nut is locked together, such that the tongue may not slide longitudinally relative to the groove, due to the first and second thread engagement.

  • Publication number: 20060147173
    Abstract: A splice site carrier includes an interconnecting member and a plurality of generally planar carrier members that are pivotally interconnected therewith. The carrier members are configured to receive a splice tray mounted on a front side thereof. Each of the carrier members is pivotable about a respective pivot axis between an access position, in which the front side of the carrier member faces in a first direction, such that the splice tray is presented for access to splice sites thereon, and a non-access position that is at least partially inverted from the access position, in which a rear side of the carrier member is presented and the splice tray is not accessible.

  • Publication number: 20050237721
    Abstract: A shelf includes: a main panel unit; a slide member; and a component mounting panel. The slide member is pivotally attached to the main panel unit for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis and is configured for slidable mounting relative to an enclosure such that the main panel unit can be moved from a retracted position within the enclosure to an extended position that is forward of the enclosure. The main panel unit is pivotable relative to the slide member between a raised position and a lowered position when extended forwardly of the enclosure. The component mounting panel is pivotally mounted to the main panel unit for pivotal movement about a second pivot axis between front access and rear access positions.
