Airflow system

A telecommunications equipment assembly comprising:

• a chassis defining an internal cavity for receiving a plurality of electronic apparati;
• at least one means for defining a plurality of flow channels within said internal cavity coupled to each of said plurality of electronic apparati;
• and
• a first fan placed in series with a second fan to pull air into said plurality of flow channels and to push air out from said plurality of flow channels,
• said first fan and said second fan positioned on an area proximate to a portion of said chassis.

A method for providing air flow through a telecommunications equipment assembly comprising:

• providing a chassis including an internal cavity;
• dividing said internal cavity into a plurality of flow channels, wherein
• said flow channels includes a first end and a second end,
• said dividing comprises inserting a plurality of electronic apparati into said internal cavity,
• each of said electronic apparati is coupled to a divider mechanism, and
• said divider mechanism forms at least one barricade within said internal cavity to form said flow channels;
• and
• pulling and pushing air through said flow channels.

A telecommunications equipment assembly comprising:

• a chassis having a first surface and defining an internal cavity;
• means for dividing said internal cavity into a plurality of flow channels, wherein
• said flow channels including a first end and a second end,
• said means for dividing comprises a plurality of divider mechanisms each mounted to an electronic apparatus, and
• said divider mechanism form at least one barricade within said internal cavity to form said flow channels when said electronic apparatus are inserted into said internal cavity;
• and
• means for pulling and pushing air through said flow channels combined at said first surface.
