Detailed Description of the Drawings Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary aspects of the present invention, which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout all the drawings to refer to them or similar parts. Figure 1 shows a front view of two frames 20 constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention. Each frame 20 includes a frame 22 having two separate vertical end walls 24. Each set of vertical end walls 24 defines a frame section 26 which is designed with such dimension to receive conventional telecommunications chas28 (for clarification, the chas28 is shown only in the frame 20 that is furthest to the right). Each of the chas28 is adapted to hold the conventional interconnect modules 30 (only shown in one of the chas28) which can be permanently or removably mounted within the chas28. The embodiment shown in Figure 1 it is a later interconnection system. The modules 30 define ports or front accesses 29. By inserting provisional connection plugs into the ports 29, the signals that are transmitted through the modules 30 can be interrupted or monitored. On the rear of the frames 20, the modules 30 provide interconnection positions, input connection positions, output connection positions, current connection positions, and ground connection positions. In use, the input / output cables are connected to the input / output connection positions, the interconnecting cables are connected to the interconnection positions, and the wires or wires of the grounding and current are connected to the positions of earthing contact and current. As will be described later in the specifications, the frames 20 are configured to provide effective cable management of the various cables and wires that are connected to the modules 30 mounted on the frames 20. With reference still to Figure 1, the frames 20 include junction plates 32, which protrude transversely outwardly from the vertical end walls 24. The junction plates 32 are configured to interconnect the two frames 20 together. For example, the intermediate plate 34 it can be screwed between the junction plates 32 to provide a mechanical connection. It is noted that the frames 20 are directly placed one adjacent to the other without placing fillings between the frames 20. A vertical channel 36 is preferably placed between the two frames 20. The vertical channel 36 could be used, of a typical form for providing vertical handling of the input and output cables 38 which are connected to the interconnection modules 30. The front access openings 88 are provided to facilitate access to the input / output cables 38 within the channel 36. To maximize the size of the vertical channel 36, each frame section 26 has a width Wx, which is relatively small compared to a total width W2 of each frame 20. For example, in certain embodiments, the width W of each frame section 26 is approximately 368 mm, and the width W2 of each frame 20 is approximately 600 mm. It is preferred that the width Wi of each frame section 26 be less than 400 mm. Figure 2 is a rear perspective view of one of the frames 20. For clarity and ease of description, the chassis 28 and the interconnect modules 30 have been removed from Figure 2. The frame 20 includes two columns of ring structures 40. Each column of ring structures 40 defines a first vertical channel 42 that is designed with such a dimension to receive the interconnecting cables 44 that come from the interconnection modules, and defines a second vertical channel 46 that is designed with one dimension so as to receive the current and grounding wires or wires 48 (for example, 45 volts). By separating the interconnecting cables 44 from the current and grounding wires 48, the interference between the wires and cables can be reduced. The openings 50 are defined between the adjacent ring structures 40 in each column. The openings 50 are configured to allow the input / output cables 38 to be fed from the vertical channels 36 (shown in Figure 1) to the rear of the frame 20, where the electrical connections can be made with the positions of input and output contact of the modules 30. It will be appreciated that the input / output cables 38, the interconnecting cables 44 and the current and grounding wires 48 have been shown, in a schematic manner. Referring still to Figure 2, the frame 20 includes the upper and lower hoppers 52 and 54, which support the interconnecting cables that are fed through the rear of the frame 20. The interconnecting cables are fed between the frames to provide interconnections between modules of different racks. The support supports 56 are used to support the interconnecting wires extending between two adjacent frames. The channels 42 defined by the ring structures 40 are provided for vertical cable management of the interconnecting cables. A cable protection assembly 58 is placed below the lower hopper 54 at the base of the frame 20 (for example, at the floor level). The cable protection assembly 58 includes a protection box 60, which is placed on the front of the frame 20, the end protection members 54 that cover the ends of the frame 20, and includes a back protection member 56 that covers the back of the frame 20.

The rear projections 82 define a plurality of openings 84 which are used to screw or otherwise connect the ring structures 40 to the back of the frame 22. Similar front projections 86 protrude transversely outward from the vertical end walls 24 adjacent to the front of the frame 22. The front projections 86 define the openings 87 to allow the chassis 28 to be screwed or otherwise connected to the frame. frame 22. The connecting or connecting plates 32 of the frame 20 are made in one piece with the front projections 86.

The slots or cutting portions 88a and 88b are formed between the junction plates 32. The cutting portions 88a and 88b are configured to allow frontal access to the input / output cables 38 that are placed within the vertical channel 36 formed between the frames 20. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, the cutting portions 88a and 88b cooperate to define the front access openings 88. It is preferred that each of the cutting portions 88 have a height Hi which is larger than a corresponding height H2 of the jointing plates 32. In certain embodiments, the heights Hi of the cutting portions 88 are at least two or three times as large as the heights H2 of the jointing plates or splice 32. Figure 5 shows a tile of a plurality of tiles 90 suitable for supporting the frame 20. The tile 90 preferably rises above a main floor, so that the cables (eg the ca A / C alternating current and the input / output cables) can pass below the raised floor 90. In a particular embodiment, the tile 90 is 600 mm, by 600 mm. and is supported by a support grid 91. A perforation configuration is cut in one half of the tile 90. The perforation configuration includes a central aperture 92 through which an AC cable can be passed A / C. The perforation configuration also includes four slots 94 which are used to screw one of the frames 20 into the raised floor 90. The configuration further includes two rectangular cutouts 96 for passing the input and output cables 38 through the raised floor 90 and directed towards the vertical channels 36 defined between the frames 20. The cutouts are partially obstructed by the support grid 91. Figure 6 is a plan view of the base plate 78 of the frame 22. The base plate 78 defines four slots 98, which are adapted to align with slots 94 cut through the raised floor 90. The base plate 78 also includes a central opening 100, which is adapted to align with the central opening 92 of the raised floor 90. The outwardly facing channels 36 of the frame 22 are adapted to align with the rectangular cutouts 96 in the raised floor 90. To connect the frames 20 with the In this case, the screws are secured through the slots 94 and 98. To provide alternating current A / C to the adjacent frame 20, an alternating current A / C cable can be fed through the central openings 92 and 100. Of a Preferably, the alternating current cable A / C is electrically connected to a power outlet, which can be mounted in one of the openings 76 defined by the front and rear walls 72 and 74 of the frame structure of the frame. Figure 7 shows a mounting detail for the upper end 68 of the frame 20. The upper end 68 includes a horizontal top plate 104 defining the upper part of the frame section 26. Three holes 106 are formed through the top plate 104. The holes 106 can be used to secure the upper end 68 of the frame 20 to a roof or other structure through the use of latching rods. Referring again to Figure 3, the vertical end wall that is further to the right 24, defines a passage opening 108, which is located at the base of the frame 22. The passage opening 108 is configured to allow the input / output cables 38 (shown in Figure 1), which extend along the vertical wall that is furthest to the right 24, pass directly below the frame section 26 of the frame 22. this way, the through opening 108 provides clearance to allow the input / output cables 38 to curve around or otherwise deviate from an obstruction (e.g., the support grid 91 of Figure 5) that could partially blocking the rectangular cutout 96 in the raised floor 90. If the through opening 108 does not exist, the support grid 91 would reduce the capacity of the vertical channels 36. An inclined plate 110 is located adjacent to the passage opening 108. inclined plate 1 10 extends from the base plate 78 to a position above the through opening 108. At least a portion of the inclined plate 110 functions to protect the wires passing through the through opening 108. FIGS. 9 show one of the ring structures 40 in separation from the frame 20. The ring structure 40 includes a base 112 that is adapted to be connected to the frame 20 (for example, screw holes are provided through the base 112 to allow that the ring structure 40 is screwed to the frame 22).
