Abstract: A modular patch panel module is mountable on an electronics enclosure and includes an angled patch face and mounting structure that enables stacking of modular patch panels without interference of patch panel cords with the top of the enclosure or another patch panel stacked thereon. The patch panel modules may each contain a plurality of RJ-45 ports and punchdown blocks. A cover plate may snap fit to the module to retain the patch panel electrical components therebetween.

Abstract: A clamp that guides and secures cables in a cable management system. The clamp includes a body member and latch members integrally formed with the body member. The body member includes at least one cable guide and the latch members include outwardly extending arms. The latch members pivot from an open position to a closed position over the body member. When the latch members are in the closed position, each arm is disposed over a cable guide to secure a cable positioned therein.
