A method of terminating a cable includes: a) providing an overhead cable pathway structure that defines a cable-carrying region; b) mounting adapters to the overhead cable pathway structure outside of the cable-carrying region; c) routing a cable from the cable-carrying region of the overhead cable pathway structure to the adapter mounted to the cable pathway structure; and d) terminating the cable to the adapter.

Overhead cable termination arrangement

A rack system includes one or more racks each configured to receive at least one distribution module. Each rack includes management sections located at the front of the rack; troughs located at the rear of the rack; horizontal channels extending between the management sections and the trough; a storage area located at a first of opposing sides of the rack; a front vertical channel that connects to the storage area and at least some of the management sections; and a travel channel at the rear of the first rack that connects the storage area to the troughs.

Cable management in rack systems

A system including an overhead cable pathway structure and an adapter panel or cable termination device that mounts overhead to the cable pathway structure. The cable termination device including a plurality of adapters and a cable pathway exit having a curved surface that guides cables exiting from the overhead cable pathway structure to the adapters.
