Abstract:
1. A telecommunications enclosure system comprising: a first enclosure having a first top plate, a first bottom plate parallel and opposing said top plate, a first sidewall disposed perpendicular between said top plate and said bottom plate, and a second sidewall parallel and opposing said first side wall and disposed perpendicular between said top plate and said bottom plate to define a first rectangular aperture therein; said first sidewall and said second sidewall of said first enclosure having a pair of mounting flanges inside the first enclosure, wherein each said pair of mounting flanges comprises a row of round apertures with a slotted aperture disposed at an end of each row of said round apertures adapted to mount said first enclosure to a backboard or equipment rack rails enclosing equipment installed on the equipment rack rails; a plurality of U-shaped perforated knock-outs disposed adjacent to an edge of said first enclosure to route existing cabling outside said first enclosure; wherein the first enclosure is adapted to fit independently over the equipment installed on the equipment rack rails; a first removable door hingedly attached to said second sidewall of said first enclosure to control access to said first rectangular aperture and said pre-selected equipment contained therein from a front side; a second enclosure having a top plate, a bottom plate parallel and opposing said top plate, a first sidewall disposed perpendicular between said top plate and said bottom plate, and a second sidewall parallel and opposing said first sidewall and disposed perpendicular between said top plate and said bottom plate to define a second rectangular aperture; said first sidewall and said second sidewall of said second enclosure having a pair of mounting flanges inside the second enclosure, wherein each said pair of mounting flanges comprises a row of round apertures with a slotted aperture disposed at an end of each row of said round apertures adapted to mount said second enclosure to said backboard or said equipment rack rails; a plurality of U-shaped perforated knock-outs disposed adjacent to an edge of said second enclosure to route existing cabling outside said second enclosure; wherein the second enclosure is adapted to fit independently over the equipment installed on the equipment rack rails; and a second door hingedly attached to said second sidewall of said second enclosure to control access to said second rectangular aperture and said pre-selected equipment from a back side; a bottom adjustment plate to bridge a bottom gap between a bottom of said first enclosure and said second enclosure when said first and second enclosures are mounted to opposing sides of said equipment rack rails, wherein said bottom adjustment plate is adjusted to accommodate a depth of said equipment rack rails; and a top adjustment plate to bridge a top gap between a top of said first enclosure and said second enclosure when said first and second enclosures are mounted to opposing sides of said equipment rack rails, wherein said top adjustment plate is adjusted to accommodate a depth of said equipment rack rails.
