  • Patent number: 5462350
    Abstract: An equipment cabinet employs a rack-mountable equipment enclosure surrounded by a base, a cap, and front and rear covers. Each cover consists of a bezel and a door reversibly mounted thereon via removable hinge pins. The bezels have sidewalls that rest against ledges on the edges of the enclosure to receive support therefrom. The door has a centrally-located latch, the latch having a pawl with an eccentric catch portion that engages a latch opening on a ledge extending from the bezel. The pawl also has a tab that rests between the ends of an arcuate raised portion on the rear of the door to limit the rotational travel of the pawl. The base, cap, and covers are configured so that the enclosure is surrounded by hollows forming a peripheral passageway for cabling and the like. The base and cap have front and rear handle-like projections through which cables may be routed, and the covers have inward-facing snap tabs that engage the handle-like projections to secure the covers to the base and cap.
