ABSTRACT:
A consolidation point enclosure employing a two piece design in which a cover subassembly is removably mounted to a mounting plate. The cover subassembly includes notches that allow cable to enter the consolidation point enclosure. When the cover subassembly is removed, cables can be routed to the consolidation point enclosure without pulling the cables through restrictive openings. The cover subassembly is then mounted to the mounting plate with the notches straddling the cables. The invention also includes a patch panel mounting assembly that is hingedly mounted to the mounting plate. A pair of spring loaded pins secure the patch panel mounting assembly in an open position which facilitates access to the devices mounted in the patch panel mounting assembly. In alternative embodiments, the mounting plate includes additional support plates for mounting 110 type or 66 type cabling products.
