DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to network construction in a company or the like, and more particularly, to a wiring distribution case for racks for storing cables and extra length cables when connecting a computer terminal in a rack. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, in the case of network construction in a company or the like, for example, there is a method of connecting computer terminals widely scattered in an office in a 19-inch rack using a depice device called a concentrator. Has been taken.

[0003] Therefore, as shown in FIG.
In a 19-inch rack a within a range of mm to 2000 mm, a connection panel c such as a HUB or a connecting panel is installed in a plurality of stages, and a patch having plug connectors at both ends is provided between the connection panels c and c. They are connected by a cable d called a cord.

[0004] In this case, when connecting the connection panels c installed in the upper and lower portions of the 19-inch rack a with the cables d, the number of cables d is large, and the connection panels c such as HUBs and connecting panels are placed on the connection panels c. At present, the cables d distributed to the right and left by bands e are fixed to the columns on both sides of the 19-inch rack a in order to hinder the maintenance and management.

[0005]

However, the band e
When the cable d is fixed by the above method, when replacing the equipment or replacing the wiring due to an increase or the like, all the bands e are removed and the operation becomes very complicated.

Further, since the cable d is always stripped, there is a possibility that the cable d may be cut or damaged by any impact during the work, and there is a problem that the appearance is poor.

In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides an information wiring rack in which a detachable distribution duct is provided at the open end of a vertical storage case having a cable storage function on both sides of the rack. To provide a vertical wiring storage case.

[0008]

According to the present invention, claim 1 is:
It is installed along the up and down direction on both sides of a connection panel such as a HUB or a patch panel installed in the information wiring rack, and distributes cables connected between the upper and lower connection panels, and has an extra length. Wherein the case body is provided with a cable guide groove along one side in the vertical direction of the distal end opening end, and a detachable lid is provided at the distal end opening end. It is characterized by having.

A second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the lid of the first aspect is configured to be detachable in a divided manner.

A third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the cable guide grooves of the first or second aspect are formed at regular intervals.

In the case where the case body is made of a synthetic resin material such as plastic having elasticity, the lids which are detachably attached to the open end of the front end can be attached and detached by using the elasticity to moor each other. A mechanism that can be freely operated. When the case body is made of a metal plate, a mechanism for attaching a detachable lid to the open end of the distal end with a fastening screw or the like is used.

In addition, by dividing the detachable lid at the opening end of the case main body in accordance with the height of the rack, the cable distribution work is improved.

In the present invention having such a configuration, the cables connected between the upper and lower connection panels are distributed by the cable guide grooves of the case main body, and the extra length of the cable is stored in the case main body, so that the cable hangs down. Therefore, it is possible to avoid obstruction to other devices and panels due to the above, and to smoothly perform maintenance and inspection such as replacement of a cable.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings showing the embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, the hollow case body 1 has a height of, for example, 1250.
If it is used for a rack with a width of about 1030 mm, the height that can be stored in the rack is about 1030 mm and its width is about 45
mm and a depth of about 170 mm.

Therefore, a cable guide portion 2 is formed on one side of the open end of the case body 1, and the cable guide portion 2 extends from the middle of the wall surface 3 toward the open end. Are opened at regular intervals.

The cable guide grooves 4, 4,.
A connecting plate 6, which is bent at right angles to the inside of the opening at the top, bottom, and two ends of the center;
6, ... is provided. The connecting plates 6, 6, ...
Are formed with screw holes 7 respectively.

Next, the lids 8, 8 which are detachably attached to the open end of the case body 1, have screw insertion holes 9 pierced at positions corresponding to the screw holes 7 pierced in the connecting plate 6. The lids 8 can be attached and detached by the fastening bolts 10.

In this embodiment, two lids 8 are provided.
1 for low rack height or 3 for high rack height
It is desirable that the number be such that the work is performed most smoothly according to the height of the rack.

Since the case body 1 is provided on the left and right sides of the rack, the cable guide grooves 4, 4,... Of the cable guide section 2 are provided on the HUB or connecting panel side installed in a rack in the rack. Configuration.

Further, the case body 1 is formed of a metal plate or a synthetic resin plate such as plastic, and the lid 8 detachably attached to the opening end has various mechanisms other than the screw type shown in this embodiment. It is possible.

In the present invention having the above structure, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the case bodies 1, 1 are attached to both side ends of the front opening B of the rack A. It is attached to both inner walls in the opening B.

The mounting angle mounting frames 11, 11 are mounted on both inner walls in the opening B of the rack A.
The case bodies 1 and 1 are attached to the case bodies 1 and 11 with mounting screws 12.

As shown in FIG. 4, when connecting various connection panels 13 such as HUBs and connecting panels installed on the upper and lower parts of the rack A with the cover 8 removed by the cable 14, Connect the connected cable 14 to the cable guide groove 4 of the case body 1 in the vicinity,
4, the cable 1 is housed in the case body 1 and the open end of the case body 1 is covered
The connection between the various connection panels 11 can be made without hanging down of the connection panel 4.

Further, since the cables 14 are not fixed by a band or the like, even when the cables 14 are to be replaced, the cover 8 can be removed and only the necessary cables 14 can be easily replaced. It is very easy to manage.

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention, the cables connected between the upper and lower portions of the various connection panels are distributed to the left and right and stored in the case main body as in the prior art. It is possible to eliminate the sag due to the extra length.

Further, the cable is not exposed as in the case of fixing with a band, the appearance is very good, and further, the cable can be easily replaced.
