Abstract
A communication cable enclosure having a generally hollow housing, a splice area for splicing and containing cables and a patch area having multiple connectors attached to a patch panel. The multiple connectors attach to the cables at one end and are mounted to the patch panel at another end for interconnecting the cables using patch cables having matingly connectorized ends. The splice area and patch area are positioned on a generally planar top of a common shelf which has at least two side portions. The shelf is slidably retained generally parallelly co-planar the planar top. The shelf and hollow housing have locking pieces for retaining the shelf in predetermined positions along a path which it slidably travels into and out of the hollow body. The locking pieces include a locking protuberance retained on a spring portion which is fixedly retained on the hollow housing, the locking protuberance biasedly projects through a protuberance aperture formed through a side of the hollow body portion for engaging another aperture formed in the side portions of the shelf.
