Abstract: A low profile cable exit trough including an arch-wall with a sidewall portion. A projecting member extends from a concave surface of the arch-wall and is spaced from the sidewall portion to receive a top end of an upstanding side of a lateral trough therebetween. The arch-wall passes through the plane occupied by the upstanding side of the lateral trough at a significant angle, i.e. greater than or equal to 15 degrees, in order to allow for a lower profile above the lateral trough.

Abstract: A modular cable management trough system and method of assembly. Cable management trough includes a trough body having first and second terminal ends, first and second upright walls extending between the first and second terminal ends, and a base wall between the first and second upright walls, extending between the first and second terminal ends. The first and second upright walls and the base wall define a generally U-shaped trough having an open top and a trough interior for receiving at least one telecommunications cable. The trough body defines a receiving channel at the first end of the trough body. The channel has upright portions along the first and second upright walls and a base portion along the base wall. The channel may slidably receive a flanged end of an adjacent trough section in order to couple the adjacent trough section to modular trough section.
