Patent ID: 8655136

Claim:
A cable management assembly comprising: a plurality of modules mounted to a telecommunications rack in a stacked arrangement, each module movably mounted to an associated frame, wherein the frames mount the modules to the telecommunications rack in the stacked arrangement; a radius limiter associated with each module and movably mounted to the module; and a control mechanism associated with each module, the control mechanism including a rotating member having teeth that engage a gear rack provided on at least one of the module and the frame associated with the module; wherein movement of each module is synchronized at all times with the movement of the associated radius limiter relative to the frame of the module, the synchronized movement being controlled by the control mechanism; and wherein the movement of each module is synchronized at all times with the movement of the associated radius limiter such that the module and the associated radius limiter are configured to move simultaneously in a first direction that is the same direction relative to the frame of the module, wherein the radius limiter is configured to move with respect to its associated module in a direction that is parallel to the first direction when the module moves with respect to its associated frame.
