Abstract
A cable management enclosure for providing neat, organized installation of cable (such as fiber optic or copper) and providing easy access to the cable for maintenance. The cable management enclosure provides an area for managing cabling at the work area (an area located close in proximity to the station equipment, which includes telephones, data terminals, and computers) by providing a connection point for 2, 4, or 6 fiber connectors utilizing slide-in adapter panels. There are also provisions for copper connections with the integration of a single-gang faceplate which can be mounted directly to the cable management enclosure cover to accommodate up to 6 modular jacks. The base of the cable management enclosure provides incoming fiber cable strain relief plus storage and management of up to 1 meter of slack for as many as 6 fibers. A cover snaps onto the base to provide dust-proofing and protection for the fibers. A concealed cover-to-base screw accommodation is included for added security if desired. Molded-in icon pockets permit fiber port identification with the use of color-coded, snap-in icons.
