Abstract
A port barrier assembly includes a bezel frame and a barrier component. The bezel frame includes an elongate body having first and second ends and 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 barrier component has a spine member from which one or more resiliently deflectable barrier elements extend. The spine member is secured to the elongate body with the one or more resiliently deflectable barrier elements substantially entirely covering the opening. The bezel frame is installable, without the aid of tools, along an exposed edge of a port opening in a surface of an electronic equipment enclosure.
