Abstract
A fiber optic cable management system includes a cabinet defined by cabinet walls and having an interior mounting surface for carrying cable management components adapted for managing fiber optic cable within the cabinet. The mounting surface is spaced-apart from and cooperates with an adjacent one of the cabinet walls to define a door-receiving compartment inside the cabinet between the mounting surface and the adjacent wall. A cable access door is pivotably attached to the cabinet, and is adapted for pivoting movement between a closed position and an open position, and for sliding movement from the open position to a hidden position inside the cabinet and within the door-receiving compartment. Attachment rails are provided for pivotably attaching the access door to the cabinet, and for permitting sliding movement of the access door from the open position to the hidden position.
