ABSTRACT:
A telecommunications rack is provided to house telecommunications equipment, to conform to standards set by NEBS and ETSI, and provide the advantages of a lightweight rack while remaining stiff. This rack has two upright supports wherein each upright support has a truss member secured to vertical members. The truss configuration permits easier access to cabling and reduces the weight of the rack. The rack also incorporates a base with adjustable feet for improved levelling after the rack is installed. The base also may be pre-stressed, which is advantageous in locations that are susceptible to seismic occurrences to reduce the risk of damaging the telecommunications equipment during such occurrences.
