Abstract
A multi-media cross-connect facility which employs an industry-standard 'Type 89' bracket as a mounting base. A support for a set of connection devices, such as snap-in modular jacks, fiber optic cable coupler adapters and coaxial cable coupler adapters, takes the form of an elongated rectangular panel. The panel is formed of sheet metal having a thickness of 1/16 inch, with the edges rolled to define hems resulting in 1/8 inch thick mounting regions along the sides. The 1/16 inch thick intermediate region has apertures for receiving snap-in connection devices, while the 1/8 inch thick mounting regions, which are also provided with notches, are properly received by the 'Type 89' bracket.
