Abstract

A card cage system is provided that includes a middle card guide (404) interposed between two end card guides (402) in an electronic equipment enclosure (100a). Each of the card guides (402) includes one or more channels (402b) adapted to receive a card edge (208a). The middle card guide (404) includes a removable adapter element (500, figure 5b) that, when present in the middle card guide (404), prevents insertion of double wide (308) or larger, cards while, at the same time, permitting insertion of two single wide cards (208) in a side-by-side arrangement. When the adapter element (500) is removed, a double-wide card (308) can be received in the middle card guide (404) such that it straddles the middle card guide (404). The edges of the double-wide card (308) are received in the first and second end card guides (402). Thus, the card guide (402) can be readily customized to accommodate a variety of card types and sizes, in various arrangements.
