Apparatus for cable routing

A communication system comprising:

• a first chassis having first and second side walls and adapted to slidably receive therein a plurality of cassettes;
• a first cable hanger assembly having a first side edge hingedly coupled to the first side wall of the first chassis, the first cable hanger assembly including a plurality of first hangers adapted to support cables thereon, an axis of rotation of the first cable hanger assembly being substantially orthogonal to a direction in which the plurality of cassettes are slidable;
• a second cable hanger assembly having a second side edge hingedly coupled to the second side wall of the first chassis, the second cable hanger assembly including a plurality of second hangers adapted to support cables thereon, an axis of rotation of the second cable hanger assembly being substantially orthogonal to the direction in which the plurality of cassettes are slideable;
• wherein the first and second cable hanger assemblies are each rotatable from a storage position in which the first and second cable hanger assemblies are substantially parallel to front faces of the plurality of cassettes and the plurality of cassettes are accessible, to a maintenance position in which a respective side wall of the first chassis is accessible, so that during rotation from the storage position to the maintenance position, the pluralities of first and second hangers move toward front faces of the plurality of cassettes.
