    摘要: A mounting system for latching a cable management structure to a telecommunications fixture includes a first locking feature on the management structure defining first and second hook-like members separated apart, each defining a vertical slide portion and a larger vertical retention portion, the first locking feature including an elastically flexible latch between the first and second hook-like members. A second locking feature defining first and second slots is located on a planar wall of the telecommunications fixture, wherein the first and second slots define a receiver portion and a retention portion, the receiver portion for accommodating the retention portion of the hook-like members and the retention portion for accommodating the slide portion of the hook-like members, the second locking feature also defining a latch opening. The cable management structure also defines curvature that provides bend radius protection along at least two perpendicular planes.

    摘要: A mounting system for latching a cable management structure to a telecommunications fixture so as to prevent relative sliding between the cable management structure and the telecommunications fixture and relative separation between the cable management structure and the telecommunications fixture that is in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of the relative sliding includes a first locking feature in the form of first and second hook-like members separated apart, each defining a vertical slide portion and a vertical retention portion having a larger profile than the slide portion, the first locking feature also including an elastically flexible latch positioned between the first and second hook-like members, and a second locking feature in the form of first and second slots configured to align with the first and second hook-like members of the first locking feature, wherein each of the first and second slots defines a receiver portion and a retention portion, wherein the receiver portion is sized to accommodate the larger retention portion of the hook-like member and the retention portion is sized to accommodate the slide portion but not the larger retention portion of the hook-like member, the second locking features also defining a latch opening configured to receive the flexible latch of the first locking feature for preventing relative sliding between the cable management structure and the telecommunications fixture once the vertical slide portion of each hook-like member has been slid through the retention portion of each slot and the retention portion of each hook-like member is out of alignment with the receiver portion of each slot.
