    摘要: A method of providing an electronic equipment enclosure having a plurality of panels, including identifying at least one panel through which air is intended to flow, determining the design parameters of the identified panel, and providing an electronic equipment enclosure that includes the identified panel, constructed according to the determined design parameters. Determining the design parameters of the identified panel includes first establishing a maximum ratio of open area to closed area of between 60% and 70% and then determining one or more other parameters of the design of the identified panel in view of the established maximum ratio of open area to closed area. Other parameters include the material of which the identified panel is to be constructed, its thickness, and its rigidity. Specific enclosures benefiting from the design process are also described.

    摘要: An electronic equipment enclosure comprises a frame structure formed from a plurality of support posts and at least partially enclosed by a plurality of panels. The panels include at least side, top and back panels defining an enclosure having a top, a bottom and a rear thereof. The top panel includes an opening there through that is rectangular in shape. The equipment enclosure further comprises an exhaust air duct extending upward from the top panel of the enclosure. The exhaust air duct is rectangular in cross-section and is disposed in surrounding relation to, and in fluid communication with, the top panel opening. The exhaust air duct is adapted to segregate hot air being exhausted from the enclosure from cool air entering the enclosure, thereby improving thermal management of the enclosure.

    摘要: A brush port assembly includes a bezel frame and a brush component. The bezel frame is comprised of an elongate body having first and second ends, a top surface, and an underside. The elongate body is formed as a generally enclosed shape that frames an opening, whereby the first and second ends are arranged in an end-to-end relationship with a gap therebetween. The brush component has a spine member from which a plurality of bristles extend. The spine member is secured to the underside of the elongate body such that the bristles substantially entirely cover the opening. The bezel frame is installable, without the aid of tools, along an exposed edge of a brush port opening in a surface of an electronic equipment enclosure. Additionally, the bezel frame is installable around a cable that passes through the brush port opening by maneuvering the cable through the gap.

    摘要: An electronic equipment enclosure includes a frame structure at least partially enclosed by a plurality of panels defining a compartment in which one or more electronic components are mounted and an exhaust air duct that is adapted to segregate hot air being exhausted from the compartment from cool air entering the compartment, thereby improving thermal management of the enclosure. The exhaust duct includes a lower duct section extending upward from the top panel of the compartment and an upper duct section telescoping upward from an upper end of the lower duct section. Each duct section includes four panels connected together by hinged corner fittings such that the section is collapsible. The upper duct section includes an outwardly flared portion.

    摘要: A method of installing a cage nut fastener against a frame member without the aid of tools includes: providing a cage nut fastener having a spring cage and a nut prevented from rotation within the spring cage, wherein the spring cage includes first and second lever arms arranged at opposite sides thereof, each lever arm extending in a rearward direction behind a back wall of the spring cage; applying a compression force upon at least one of the lever arms, without the aid of tools, to manipulate the spring cage to a compressed state; positioning a distal end of each of the lever arms through an aperture of the frame member; and releasing the compression force so that a portion of each of the lever arms presses against an edge of the aperture, thereby securing the cage nut fastener against the frame member.

    摘要: A cable pathway divider, for installation on a cable runway, includes a pair of post halves and a ring-shaped locking member. Each post half includes a base portion and an extension portion, and the base portions of the post halves are arrangeable at opposite sides of a cross member of a cable runway. The post halves are securable to one another from opposite sides of the cross member, via clamping arrangement of the ring-shaped locking member relative to the post halves, such that the extension portions extend into a space above the cable runway to divide the cable runway into at least two cable paths.
