Abstract
The present disclosure provides advantageous systems/methods for the design and use of patching systems having one or more bracket members (e.g., Z-shaped bracket members) configured to facilitate cable management. In exemplary embodiments, the bracket members allow a panel assembly to move relative to the bracket members for cable management purposes. The improved systems/assemblies of the present disclosure provide users with the ability to install multiple media connections (e.g., copper-based and/or fiber optic connections) in the same patching system/enclosure.
Claims15
A bracket assembly comprising:
- a first bracket member having a substantially Z-shaped configuration, the first bracket member including a first segment, a second segment and a third segment, with the third segment:
- (i) connecting the first and second segments to define the substantially Z-shaped configuration, and (ii) having at least one aperture configured to mount to a supporting structure;
- wherein the first segment of the first bracket member includes at least one protrusion member configured to releasably mount to a first cable management member, the first cable management member configured to manage media cables;
- and
- wherein the second segment of the first bracket member includes at least one attachment element configured to allow a panel assembly to movably mount to the second segment of the first bracket member.
