High density optics and electronics enclosure housing system with cable management

摘要

A cable support device having a first portion at a back side thereof and a second portion at a front side opposite the back side of the cable support device, the first portion adapted to couple to a front side of a housing, and the second portion adapted to support a length of at least one cable extending along a direction of the front side of the cable support device, wherein the cable support device is transitionable between a first state and a second state, wherein, in the first state, the second portion extends at a first angle with respect to the front side of the housing, and in the second state, the second portion extends at a second angle with respect to the front side of the housing, the second angle being different from the first angle.

1. A cable routing apparatus for routing at least one cable in a cassette housing system, the system including a housing having front, back, left, and right sides, and for receiving at least one cassette transitionable from a stored state to a retracted state and vice versa, the cassette including an enclosure having a bottom surface extending from a front side to a back side of the cassette and one or more ports at the front side of the cassette, the cable routing apparatus comprising:
a cable support device having a first portion at a back side thereof and a second portion at a front side opposite the back side of the cable support device, the first portion adapted to couple to the front side of the housing, and the second portion adapted to support a length of the at least one cable extending along a direction of the front side of the cable support device, wherein the cable support device is transitionable between a first state and a second state, wherein, when the cassette is received in the housing of the system and in an installed state of the cable support guide the first portion of the cable support device is coupled to the front side of the housing such that the bottom surface of the cassette is overlying the cable support device: when the cassette is in the stored state, the cable support device is in the first state, in which the second portion extends at a first angle with respect to the front side of the housing, when the cassette is in the retracted state, the cable support device is in the second state, in which the second portion extends at a second angle with respect to the front side of the housing, the second angle being different from the first angle, the second angle based on a position of the front side of the cassette away from the front side of the housing.
