Patent number: 8144457Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunications termination panel with a housing including a front opening and a rear opening. Pivotably mounted within the housing is a tray within the front opening, pivoting about a vertical axis located adjacent a first side of the housing. A cable path is defined along a bottom of the housing along the first side between the cable entry of the tray and the rear opening. A movable plate is positioned adjacent the first side and is movable between a first position defining an upper limit of the cable path when the tray is closed and a second position allowing access to the cable path when the tray is open. The movement of the plate between the first and second positions is actuated by the movement of the tray between the closed and open positions. The present invention further relates to a telecommunications termination panel with a housing including a front opening.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2008Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Ray Mertesdorf, Clinton M.

Patent number: 7116777Abstract: The present invention relates to a telecommunications connection module including a housing and connection locations mounted to a front face of the housing. The connection locations are removably mounted to the front face allowing access to an interior side of the connection locations from outside the housing and arranged to two rows. A shelf divide the interior of the housing into two spaces allowing cables to be directed to one or the other of the rows of connection locations. The housing may also include integral mounting recesses for mounting the housing to a telecommunications equipment rack. The rear of the housing may also include a removable portion and angled portions adjacent the sides which are offset toward the front face. The present invention also relates to a telecommunications connection system including a rack and at least one connection module mounted to the rack, the rack including a front and a rear cable management structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2002Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Clinton M.
