A telecommunications cabinet in which active equipment can be mounted. The cabinet including an airflow ducting arrangement located in the interior region of the cabinet. The airflow ducting arrangement accommodating thermal cooling of active equipment having internal side-to-side air cooling arrangements.

Telecommunication cabinet with airflow ducting

A telecommunications system including a frame to which telecommunications equipment is mounted. The frame defines a patch panel region and an active equipment region. Patch cords are interconnected between the patch panel region and the active equipment region. The system further includes a slack storage panel that stores patch cord slack. The slack storage panel defines a single cable routing pathway. The patch cords are routed through the slack storage panel such that no portion of the length of each patch cord overlaps itself. In systems including both copper and fiber cables, the copper cables are routed separately from the fiber cables.

Cable management arrangement for a telecommunications cabinet

A telecommunications system including a frame to which telecommunications equipment is mounted. Fiber cables exiting the equipment are routed upward along each of the right and left sides of the frame. The fiber cables routed along the right and left sides merge within a horizontal trough section of a cable exit assembly. The cable exit assembly is located adjacent to the top of the frame and defines a single common exit point at which the merged fiber cables exit the frame.

Telecommunications frame including an internal cable trough assembly

A telecommunications cabinet including a frame arrangement having an inner frame and an outer frame. The frame arrangement of the telecommunications cabinet being constructed to withstand particular-rated seismic events while still providing the needed thermal cooling capacity to maintain proper equipment operations.

Frame arrangement for a telecommunications cabinet

A cable radius limiter having a radius limiting surface that prevents damage to cables due to excessive bending. The cable radius limiter includes mounting structure and cable retaining structure arranged such that the limiter can be operably oriented and mounted to a mounting bracket in both a first mounting orientation and a second mounting orientation. The mounting bracket includes a number of fingers to which a plurality of the cable radius limiters is secured.
