Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and devices are used for front cable management of equipment modules mounted in equipment racks. One aspect is directed to an apparatus for front cable management generally including a cable management device for a rack-mounted equipment module supported in an equipment rack. The cable management device generally includes an articulated arm assembly movable between a retracted operational position and a service position extending forwardly out from the equipment rack. Another aspect is directed to a system for front cable management generally including an equipment rack and a rack-mount support for movably positioning a rack-mount equipment module on the equipment rack. The rack-mount support generally includes a front end configured to receive a cable management device for routing cables from a cable zone of the equipment rack to a front end of the rack-mount support.

Abstract: A curved or arcuate patch panel is configured to be mounted to a rack or console. The patch panel facilitates cable management functions and enhances space utilization at and around the rack/patch panel assembly. The patch panel includes an elongated patch panel element having a predominantly curved length extent and exhibiting a peak region, preferably located at the center of the patch panel. The patch panel also includes flange members that extend from the elongated patch panel element, and that define a mounting face for the patch panel. Optionally, the flange members further define an extension arm that is intermediate to the mounting face and the elongated patch panel element. The extension arm is dimensioned to facilitate at least partial recessing of the elongated patch panel element relative to the rack/console when the patch panel is mounted thereto.

Abstract: A multimedia patching box including a generally rectangular housing. The housing includes a first wall positioned opposite from a second wall. The housing also includes opposing third and fourth walls that extend between the first and second walls. A panel is mounted adjacent the front of the housing. The panel is mounted to pivot about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position. The pivot axis is located adjacent to the third wall of the housing and extends generally along the third wall of the housing. A plurality of multimedia connectors are mounted on the panel. The housing defines at least one cable access opening defined through at least one of the first and second walls at a location adjacent the third wall. A cable management structure is connected to the back side of the panel. The cable management structure defines a cable guiding channel that extends generally along the pivot axis of the panel and generally aligns with the at least one cable access opening.
