Bracket element for a distribution device enclosure

A bracket element for a prefabricated distribution device enclosure, comprising:

• a body having a top surface, a rear surface and at least two side surfaces connecting the top surface to the rear surface;
• a plurality of module openings extending through at least a portion of the top surface and configured to at least partially receive a respective communications module therethrough;
• a first enclosure connection orifice arrangement comprising a plurality of enclosure connection orifices positioned on and extending through one of a first end of a side surface and a first end of a rear surface, and a second enclosure connection orifice arrangement comprising a plurality of enclosure connection orifices positioned on and extending through one of a second end of a side surface and a second end of a rear surface;
• and
• at least one attachment mechanism configured to secure the bracket element to a surface of the distribution device enclosure by engagement with at least one of the plurality of enclosure connection orifices;
• wherein the at least one attachment mechanism further comprises a plunger element and a grommet element, the plunger element configured to engage with the grommet element.

A method of mounting a bracket element to a distribution device enclosure, comprising the steps of:

• providing a bracket element with a body having a top surface, a rear surface and at least two side surfaces connecting the top surface to the rear surface;
• at least one module opening extending through at least a portion of the top surface for at least partially receiving a communications module therethrough;
• and at least one enclosure connection orifice arrangement comprising a plurality of enclosure connection orifices positioned on and extending through at least one of the surfaces of the body;
• and
• attaching the bracket element to a surface of the distribution device enclosure by engaging an attachment mechanism with at least one of the plurality of enclosure connection orifices;
• wherein the attachment mechanism further comprises a plunger element and a grommet element, the plunger element configured to engage with the grommet element.
