Abstract: A network equipment rack includes a first support and a second support spaced from the first support by a given distance, the first and second supports configured to support a plurality of modules in a space between the supports and each support including a plurality of openings. At least one network module is mounted in the rack between the first support and the second support and may include a plurality of ports configured to receive a connector. A camera panel is also mounted in the rack between the first support and the second support and includes a panel member having a first end connected to the first support and a second end connected to the second support and an aperture through the panel member between the first end and the second end and a camera mounted in the aperture.

Abstract: A patch panel configured for mounting to a network rack, includes: a frame including mounting features at opposite lateral ends for mounting the patch panel to the network rack; a bezel mounted to the patch panel, the bezel including a plurality of outlet apertures, and a plurality of communication outlets mounted in respective ones of the outlet apertures. Each of the outlets includes a plurality of electrical contacts within a plug aperture configured to receive a mating plug. The plug aperture has a generally horizontal axis for receiving the mating plug and further includes a plug latch recess. The outlets are oriented such that the plug latch recess is positioned on one side edge of the plug aperture.
