Abstract:
1. A method of assembling a cable routing system comprising the steps of: providing a first plate, the first plate including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first edge, and a second edge opposite the first edge, the first and second ends and the first and second edges forming a perimeter of the first plate, the first plate defining a longitudinal axis that extends between the first and second ends of the first plate, the first and second edges being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first plate; providing a plurality of side elements, the first and second edges of the first plate each having a first interface compatible with a second interface of each of the plurality of side elements, with the first and second interfaces being in the same plane when interconnected; selecting one of the plurality of side elements, wherein the selected one of the plurality of side elements includes a side exit having a linear edge, two opposed upstanding sidewall portions and a horizontally extending center portion, the sidewall portions and the center portion extending from the linear edge, wherein the sidewall portions and the center portion are separate elements of the side exit with a mating arrangement between the sidewall portions and the center portion; mounting the selected one of the plurality of side elements to the first plate by attaching the linear edge of the selected one of the plurality of side elements to the first interface of at least one of the edges of the first plate; mounting a second plate to at least one of the first and second ends of the first plate; and mounting the first and second plates at a vertical height above a telecommunications bay.
