Abstract
One or more active components can be strand mounted within a cabinet that also has passive optical components. Certain types of strand mounts are slidable relative to the cabinet to enhance access to the components. Each component may be independently slidable.
Claims22
A telecommunications device comprising:
- a cabinet having an access opening through which an interior of the cabinet can be accessed;
- and
- a component mount installed within the cabinet, the component mount including a component mounting rod to which a strand mount clamp can be secured to hang a telecommunications component beneath the component mounting rod, the component mounting rod being supported by a linear slide mechanism movable between an extended position and a retracted position, the component mounting rod being carried by the linear slide mechanism as the linear slide mechanism is moved between the extended and retracted positions, the component mounting rod being fully within the interior of the cabinet when the linear slide mechanism is in the retracted position, and at least a portion of the component mounting rod being positioned outside the cabinet when the linear slide mechanism is in the extended position.
A telecommunications device comprising:
- a cabinet having a front access opening that can be opened and closed by a hinged front door;
- a shelf secured within the cabinet;
- a pair of linear slides mounted to a bottom side of the shelf;
- a horizontal panel coupled to the linear slides such that the linear slides allow the horizontal panel to be moved relative to the shelf between a first position in which the horizontal panel is fully within an interior of the cabinet and positioned beneath the shelf and a second position in which the linear slides extend forwardly through the front access opening and at least a majority of the horizontal panel is located outside the cabinet;
- and
- a horizontal component mounting rod secured to the horizontal panel to which a strand mount clamp can be secured to hang a telecommunications component beneath the horizontal component mounting rod.
