  • Patent number: 6467633
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a rack for mounting telecommunication chassis each adapted for receiving cross-connect modules. The rack includes a frame defining a bay formed between two spaced-apart, vertical end walls. The bay is sized for receiving the telecommunication chassis. The rack also includes a cable management structure connected to the frame. The cable management structure defines first and second separate vertical channels. The first vertical channel defines a first passage area sized for receiving a plurality of cross-connect cables from the telecommunication chassis. The second vertical channel defines a second passage area sized for receiving power and ground wires from the telecommunication chassis. L-shaped tie brackets are positioned in vertical channels defined by the vertical end walls. The tie brackets assist an installer in installing and tying the input and output cables to the rack.
