Abstract
An enclosure for housing cabling and associated equipment has a frame structure including one or more elongated support members. The support members are formed with an arcuate flange extending in a direction away from the uppermost edge of the support member. The arcuate flange will support any cables that are laid over the top of the support member, with the cable following the smooth arc of the flange. This gradual transition from the vertical plane to the horizontal plane means the cable will not deform or form kinks. Cabling entering the enclosure from a direction above the flange of a support member will be less likely to be caught inadvertently in U-shaped attachment slots because of the oblique angle of the slots and the presence of the cantilever tongues.
