Telecommunications enclosure with individual, separated card holders

摘要

A telecommunications equipment enclosure (10) that more effectively dissipates heat from electronic cards without transferring the heat to adjacent cards and without transferring the heat to air within an enclosed chamber surrounding the cards. The enclosure (10) includes a floor (12) and a plurality of card-receiving sleeves (14) attached to the floor (12). Each of the sleeves (14) defines a separate enclosed cell or holder that is configured for receiving and enclosing a single electronic card. The sleeves (14) are spaced apart to define a plurality of open air channels therebetween for convecting heat away from the sleeves (14) and the cards received therein while preventing heat from transferring from sleeve to sleeve.
