Abstract
A telecommunications enclosure having a door hingedly attached to a chassis. The chassis has a first through-hole configured to have at least one patching panel installed therein. A different enclosure, like the telecommunications enclosure, is mountable on the door. The door is rotatable relative to the chassis between closed and open positions when the different enclosure is mounted thereto. The door allows access to an interior of the chassis when the door is in the open position. The chassis and/or the door may have a second through-hole configured to allow a telecommunications cable connected to the at least one patching panel to pass therethrough and exit the interior of the chassis.
Claims31
A telecommunications enclosure comprising:
- a chassis defining an interior having an opening, the chassis comprising a first cutout portion configured to have at least one patching panel installed therein, the at least one patching panel having an aperture configured to receive a telecommunication connector;
- a patching panel assembly comprising the at least one patching panel, the patching panel assembly comprising fasteners configured to attach the patching panel assembly to the chassis;
- a door hingedly attached to the chassis, a like telecommunications enclosure being mountable on the door, the door being rotatable relative to the chassis between closed and open positions when the like telecommunications enclosure is mounted thereto, the door blocking the opening when the door is in the closed position, the door allowing access to the interior through the opening when the door is in the open position, a through-hole being formed in at least one of the chassis and the door, the through-hole being configured to allow a telecommunications cable connected to the at least one patching panel to pass therethrough and exit the interior of the chassis, the first cutout portion being spaced apart from the through-hole, the door comprising a second cutout portion spaced apart from the through-hole, the second cutout portion being aligned with the first cutout portion when the door is in the closed position, the aperture being accessible through the second cutout portion when the door is in the closed position;
- and
- a lock installed in the door, the lock being operable to move a cam between locked and unlocked positions, the cam engaging the chassis and preventing the door from being rotated to the open position when the cam is in the locked position and the door is in the closed position, the door blocking access to and preventing removal of the fasteners from the chassis when the door is in the closed position.
2 more elements
A telecommunications enclosure comprising:
- a chassis defining an interior with an opening, the chassis comprising a first cutout portion configured to have at least one patching panel installed therein, the at least one patching panel being attached to the chassis by at least one fastener;
- and
- a door hingedly attached to the chassis, a different chassis of a like telecommunications enclosure being mountable on the door, the door being rotatable relative to the chassis between closed and open positions when the like telecommunications enclosure is mounted thereto, the door blocking the opening when the door is in the closed position, the door allowing access to the interior through the opening when the door is in the open position, the door having a flange that covers the at least one fastener and prevents removal of the at least one fastener when the door is in the closed position, the flange being spaced apart from the at least one fastener and allowing the at least one fastener to be removed from the chassis when the door is in the open position.
A telecommunications enclosure comprising:
- a chassis defining an interior having an opening, the chassis comprising first and second through-holes, the first through-hole being configured to have at least one patching panel installed therein, the at least one patching panel having an aperture configured to receive a telecommunication connector, the second through-hole being configured to allow a telecommunications cable connected to the at least one patching panel to pass therethrough and exit the interior of the chassis;
- and
- a door hingedly attached to the chassis, the door comprising a third through-hole, the second and third through-holes being aligned with one another across the interior, a like telecommunications enclosure being mountable on the door, the door being rotatable relative to the chassis between closed and open positions when the like telecommunications enclosure is mounted thereto, the door blocking the opening when the door is in the closed position, the door allowing access to the interior through the opening when the door is in the open position, the first through-hole being a first cutout portion spaced apart from the second through-hole, the door including a second cutout portion spaced apart from the third through-hole, the second cutout portion being aligned with the first cutout portion when the door is in the closed position, the aperture being accessible through the second cutout portion when the door is in the closed position, the chassis having a substantially planar side panel opposite the door, the side panel being mountable directly on a wall, a like side panel of the like telecommunications enclosure being mountable on the door.
A telecommunications enclosure comprising:
- a chassis defining an interior having an opening, the chassis comprising a first through-hole configured to have at least one patching panel installed therein, the at least one patching panel having an aperture configured to receive a telecommunication connector;
- and
- a door hingedly attached to the chassis, a like telecommunications enclosure being mountable on the door, the door being rotatable relative to the chassis between closed and open positions when the like telecommunications enclosure is mounted thereto, the door blocking the opening when the door is in the closed position, the door allowing access to the interior through the opening when the door is in the open position, a second through-hole being formed in at least one of the chassis and the door, the second through-hole being configured to allow a telecommunications cable connected to the at least one patching panel to pass therethrough and exit the interior of the chassis, the first through-hole being a first cutout portion spaced apart from the second through-hole, the door including a second cutout portion spaced apart from the second through-hole, the second cutout portion being aligned with the first cutout portion when the door is in the closed position, the aperture being accessible through the second cutout portion when the door is in the closed position.
