Enclosure for a network communications module

摘要

An electronic device in the form of a network communications module that includes a housing that defines an envelope and a vertical, substantially T-shaped routing channel within the envelope. The housing further defines a horizontal routing channel within the envelope that is in communication with the T-shaped routing channel. A plurality of boards is arranged vertically within the housing and at least one board includes input-output ports. At least one communication conduit is coupled to an input-output port. Boards that include input-output ports are recessed with respect to the envelope and are arranged such that the input-output ports are adjacent the T-shaped routing channel. Communication conduits are routed through at least a portion of at least one of the routing channels. Support walls are provide within the housing that help prevent cross-talk and redundancy is provided in some of the device's components and functions.
