Door assemblies and communications cable management systems including the same

A door assembly for a communications cable management system including a support structure defining a cable and including at least two first mount structures and at least two second mount structures spaced apart from the at least two first mount structures, the door assembly comprising:

• a door body having first and second opposed side edges;
• a first latch mechanism including at least two first latch structures each selectively positionable between a latched position, wherein the first latch structure engages a respective one of the first mount structures to secure the door body to the support structure for pivotal movement therebetween about a first pivot axis proximate the first side edge of the door body, and an unlatched position, wherein the first latch structure is disengaged from the first mount structure to permit the first side edge of the door to be separated from the support structure;
• a second latch mechanism including at least two second latch structures each selectively positionable between a latched position, wherein the second latch structure engages a respective one of the second mount structures to secure the door body to the support structure for pivotal movement therebetween about a second pivot axis proximate the second side edge of the door body, and an unlatched position, wherein the second latch structure is disengaged from the second mount structure to permit the second side edge of the door to be separated from the support structure;
• a first actuator operable by a user to selectively move each of the first latch structures as a group from their latched positions to their unlatched positions;
• and
• a second actuator operable by a user to selectively move each of the second latch structures as a group from their latched positions to their unlatched positions;
• wherein:
• when the first and second latch structures are in their latched positions, the door body is secured in a closed position on the support structure;
• when the first and second latch structures are in their unlatched positions, the door body can be removed from the support structure;
• when the first latch structures are in their latched positions and the second latch structures are in their unlatched positions, the door body can be pivoted open about the first pivot axis;
• and
• when the second latch structures are in their latched positions and the first latch structures are in their unlatched positions, the door body can be pivoted open about the second pivot axis.

A communications cable management system comprising:

• a support structure defining a cable trough and including a first mount structure and a second mount structure spaced apart from the first mount structure, the first and second mount structures defining first and second pin slots, respectively;
• and
• a door assembly including:
• a door body having first and second opposed side edges;
• a first latch pin selectively positionable between a latched position, wherein the first latch pin engages the first pin slot to secure the door body to the support structure for pivotal movement therebetween about a first pivot axis proximate the first side edge of the door body, and an unlatched position, wherein the first latch pin is disengaged from the first pin slot to permit the first side edge of the door to be separated from the support structure;
• a second latch pin selectively positionable between a latched position, wherein the second latch pin engages the second pin slot to secure the door body to the support structure for pivotal movement therebetween about a second pivot axis proximate the second side edge of the door body, and an unlatched position, wherein the second latch pin is disengaged from the second pin slot to permit the second side edge of the door to be separated from the support structure;
• and
• at least one actuator operable to:
• selectively slide the first latch pin from its latched position to its unlatched position along a first slide axis that is substantially parallel to the first pivot axis;
• and
• selectively slide the second latch pin from its latched position to its unlatched position along a second slide axis that is substantially parallel to the second pivot axis.

• at least one actuator operable by a user to selectively move the first and second latch structures from their latched positions to their unlatched positions;
• and
• an automatic retention mechanism adapted to automatically hold the first latch structure in its unlatched position when the at least one actuator is operated to move the first latch structure from its latched position to its unlatched position and the first side edge of the door body is separated from the support structure.
