ABSTRACT:
A cable rack suitable for underground service is made from at least one plastic molded stanchion and a cross-arm. A height of the rack may be adjusted by stacking the stanchions lengthwise, in tandem, and by trimming the stanchions as desired. The best places in the stanchion for trimming are indicated with molded-in visual indicators. The cross-arms, which may be used to span two stanchions, are designed so that a user receives a visual indication from the stanchion when the cross-arm is fully seated and ready to receive a load of communications cables, power cables, or both. In a preferred embodiment, each stanchion has an aperture for attaching to a wall near a top of the stanchion. Plastic cable ties may be used to secure small cables to the stanchions without a cross arm, and may also be used to lock cross arms into the stanchions.
