RACK-MOUNTABLE, TILTABLE SURGE PROTECTOR HOUSINGS FOR POWER SURGE PROTECTOR ACCESSIBILITY, AND RELATED ASSEMBLIES, METHODS, AND BASE STATION EQUIPMENT

摘要

Rack-mountable, tiltable surge protector housings for power surge protector accessibility are disclosed. Related assemblies, methods, and base station equipment are also disclosed. The surge protector housings may be installed in an equipment rack to support the surge protector housing for use. The surge protector housings support one or more surge protectors for receiving input power through the surge protector housing. The surge protector housing is configured to provide surge protected output power from the received input power. The surge protector housings include a front section having surge protectors supported therein. The front section can be tilted to provide convenient access to the surge protectors, such as during installation and replacement of surge protectors, and connecting power to and disconnecting power from the surge protectors.
