Abstract: An extension device for an electrical cabinet is disclosed including a plurality of panel members, an access port in a first panel member of the plurality of panel members, a top engaging the plurality of panel members, and wherein the plurality of panel members is connected and defines a functional area. Additionally, a method of extending an electrical cabinet is disclosed, the method including the steps of forming an opening in the electrical cabinet to provide access to an internal area, positioning an extension device having an access port adjacent to the electrical cabinet, and aligning the access port and the opening in a spatial arrangement, and securing the extension device to the electrical cabinet.

Abstract: A system, method is provided for engineering, deploying, and/or maintaining a network such as a communications network. A computer, and application software, support a method of recording the characteristics of network components and their geographic locations relative to a map. Graphical and tabular display of the stored information, along with automatic functions for calculating system attributes such as power supply load and signal strength throughout the network are included. Networks including various transmission media, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber, and wireless are supported. Automatic wireless signal strength data collection, and fiber by fiber optical cable tracking are among further features of the invention.
