Abstract
A wire distribution apparatus is disclosed having a frame member with walls defining a vertical open face chamber. A plurality of termination modules are secured to the frame in side-by-side relation. Each of the modules includes a pair of opposing panels having one end pivotally mounted to the frame on opposite sides of the vertical chamber opening and pivotable between a first position with panels joined to form prismatically shaped termination modules. The panels are also pivotable to a second position with opposing panels pivoted away from one another to expose the openings in the frame to provide access to cables and wiring within the frame. Tie bar mechanisms are provided for rigidly securing panels in open positions.
