ABSTRACT:
A rack for an electronics assembly may have a supporting frame and a slider mechanism with a first part that is supported by the frame and a second part that supports the electronics assembly. The slider mechanism may be configured to allow the assembly to be moved out of the rack. The rack may further include a cable management system for supporting cables located at the rear of the assembly. The cable management system may have an articulated arm with a first end coupled to the assembly and a second end coupled to the first part of the slider mechanism so that bending of the arm accommodates movement of the electronics assembly. The cable management system may allow the assembly to be pulled out of the rack by the required distance irrespective of the depth of the rack.
