Publication number: 20080185483Abstract: A fitting for a cable trough system, the fitting including a bottom wall and side walls extending from at least a first terminal end to a second terminal end and forming a trough therebetween, the side walls being curved in a longitudinal direction, and an end portion formed at each of the first and second terminal ends, the end portion including first and second guiding surfaces defining a space therebetween, and a spring member positioned in the space. The space is sized to receive a terminal end of a trough member of the cable trough system, and wherein the spring member is positioned to engage the terminal end of the trough member to couple the trough member to the fitting. Other cable routing devices can also be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2007Publication date: August 7, 2008Applicant: ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: David E. Rapp, Thomas C. Tinucci, Derek Sayres, Thomas L. Barnes

Publication number: 20080181568Abstract: A telecommunications cable management system includes trough elements including a planar top surface and sides for cable routing and management. The trough elements are made from separate parts assembled together with a mating arrangement. The mating arrangement allows assembly of the system on site, such as by snapping the parts together. The trough elements are then assembled together to form the cable management system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2007Publication date: July 31, 2008Inventors: Derek Sayres, Thomas C. Tinucci, Thomas L. Barnes

Patent number: 7324348Abstract: A chassis and associated telecommunication circuit card are disclosed. The chassis has heat dissipation and flame containment features while accommodating a high density of the circuitry cards. Embodiments include an inner housing with a double-layer middle floor dividing the chassis into top and bottom chambers. Each layer has partially aligned slots, and an air gap is provided between the two layers. Embodiments also include a double-layer mesh cover with an air gap existing between the two mesh layers. Projections and grooves are provided on the inner surfaces of the inner housing to receive circuit cards having a guide on one edge and a fin on another. The circuit card includes conductor structures such as multiple board layers with paired and segregated conductors. The circuit card also includes some components positioned to cooperate with the ventilation features of the chassis and includes some components chosen for low-power consumption or reduced flammability.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2005Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Robin Berg, Jr., Todd Husom, Derek Sayres
