The first binding-wire through holes 137, the second binding-wire through holes 138 and the third binding-wire through holes 139 are all communicated with the wire arranging space 131.

In the present embodiment, the wire management rack 12 and the wire management rack 13 are symmetrically disposed. Wherein the first surface 122 of the wire arranging frame 12 faces the first surface 132 of the wire arranging frame 13, the second surface 123 of the wire arranging frame 12 faces away from the second surface 133 of the wire arranging frame 13, and the third surface 124 of the wire arranging frame 12 faces in the same direction as the third surface 134 of the wire arranging frame 13.

In the present embodiment, the switch 20 has a plurality of upper slots 22 and a plurality of lower slots 23. The upper slots 22 and the lower slots 23 are located between the two extending surfaces S1, S2 of the two

first surfaces

122, 132 of the two wire-arranging

frames

12, 13. As shown in fig. 5, the distance from the upper row of slots 22 to the first surface 122 of the wire arranging frame 12 is different from the distance from the lower row of slots 23 to the first surface 122 of the wire arranging frame 12, and the distance from the lower row of slots 23 to the first surface 132 of the wire arranging frame 13 is different from the distance from the upper row of slots 22 to the first surface 132 of the wire arranging frame 13. Furthermore, the distance from the upper row of slots 22 to the first surface 122 of the wire arranging frame 12 is smaller than the distance from the lower row of slots 23 to the first surface 122 of the wire arranging frame 12, and the distance from the lower row of slots 23 to the first surface 132 of the wire arranging frame 13 is smaller than the distance from the upper row of slots 22 to the first surface 132 of the wire arranging frame 13. That is, the upper slots 22 are closer to the first surface 122 of the wire-arranging frame 12 than the lower slots 23, and the lower slots 23 are closer to the first surface 132 of the wire-arranging frame 13 than the upper slots 22.

Next, referring to fig. 6 and 7, fig. 6 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the switch assembly with the cable inserted therein of fig. 1, and fig. 7 is a partially enlarged perspective view of another view of the switch assembly with the cable inserted therein of fig. 1.

In the present embodiment, the upper slot 22 and the lower slot 23 of the switch 20 are used for inserting a plurality of cables 3, and the cable management frames 12 and 13 can manage the cables 3. For example, as shown in fig. 7, the cables 3 inserted into the upper row of slots 22 are inserted into different upper row of slots 22 through the cable arranging space 121 and different cable arranging holes 126 of the cable arranging frame 12. Since the wire arranging holes 126 of the wire arranging frame 12 are arranged at intervals, the cables 3 located in different wire arranging holes 126 are separated and arranged by the wire arranging frame 12. On the other hand, the cable 3 may be bound to the wire-binding frame 12 by a wire-binding band (not shown), and the wire-binding band may be passed through any two adjacent holes among the first wire-binding through hole 127, the second wire-binding through hole 128, and the third wire-binding through hole 129. For example, the binding tape can pass through the adjacent first binding-wire through hole 127 and the second binding-wire through hole 128, or pass through the adjacent second binding-wire through hole 128 and the third binding-wire through hole 129, so as to bind the cable 3 and the wire-arranging frame 12 together. Similarly, as shown in fig. 6, the cables 3 inserted into the lower slots 23 can be sorted by the wire-sorting rack 13 in the same manner.

In the embodiment, the upper slot 22 and the lower slot 23 of the switch 20 are located between the two extending surfaces S1, S2 of the two

first surfaces

122, 132 of the two wire management frames 12, 13, and the distances from the upper slot 22 and the lower slot 23 to the first surface 122 of the wire management frame 12 (or the first surface 132 of the wire management frame 13) are different, so that the cables 3 inserted into the upper slot 22 can be arranged through the wire management frame 12 closer to the upper slot 22, and the cables 3 inserted into the lower slot 23 can be arranged through the wire management frame 13 closer to the lower slot 23. In this way, the cables 3 are not interfered by the cables 3 inserted into the other row of slots in the process of being inserted into the upper row of slots 22 or the lower row of slots 23, so that the convenience of inserting and pulling the cables 3 is improved.

In addition, the maintenance ports 125 on the first surface 122 and the maintenance ports 125 on the second surface 123 of the wire management rack 12 allow fingers to pass through, thereby facilitating the operation of plugging and unplugging the cables 3 from the upper rows of slots 22 of the switch 20. Similarly, the maintenance through holes 135 on the first surface 132 and the maintenance through holes 135 on the second surface 133 of the wire management rack 13 can facilitate the insertion and extraction of the cable 3 into and from the lower slot 23 of the switch 20.

In the present embodiment, the number of the maintenance through holes 125 on the first surface 122 of the wire arranging frame 12 and the number of the maintenance through holes 125 on the second surface 123 are two, which is not intended to limit the invention. In other embodiments, the first surface 122 of the organizer 12 may have only one maintenance port, and the second surface 123 may have only one maintenance port. Similarly, the first surface 132 of the wire organizer 13 may have only one service opening, and the second surface 133 may have only one service opening.

According to the switch assembly and the wire arranging assembly disclosed in the above embodiments, the upper row of slots and the lower row of slots of the switch are located between the two extending surfaces of the two first surfaces of the two wire arranging frames, and the distances from the upper row of slots and the lower row of slots to the first surfaces of the wire arranging frames are different, so that the cables inserted into the upper row of slots can be arranged by the wire arranging frame closer to the upper row of slots, and the cables inserted into the lower row of slots can be arranged by the wire arranging frame closer to the lower row of slots. Therefore, the cable is not interfered by the cable inserted in the other row of slots in the process of inserting and pulling the cable in the upper row of slots or the lower row of slots, and the convenience of inserting and pulling the cable is improved.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above preferred embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
