Wall cabinets and fiber management trays
Wall cabinets and fiber management trays are provided. A cabinet includes a mounting panel, the mounting panel including a rear panel and a mounting bracket extending from the rear panel along a transverse axis. The cabinet further includes a backboard mountable to the mounting panel such that a gap is defined between the backboard and the rear panel along the transverse axis. The backboard includes a main body defining a first cable manifold and a second cable manifold each extending along a longitudinal axis and a splice section positioned between the first cable manifold and the second cable manifold along a lateral axis. The cabinet further includes a plurality of splice trays disposed in the splice section.

a plurality of splice trays disposed in the splice section.
2. The wall cabinet of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of splice trays is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the lateral axis relative to the backboard.
3. The wall cabinet of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of splice trays is a mass splice fiber management tray.
4. The wall cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of splice trays are stacked along the longitudinal axis.
5. The wall cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises a first outer sidewall and a first inner sidewall defining the first cable manifold therebetween, and a second outer sidewall and a second inner sidewall defining the second cable manifold therebetween, and wherein the splice section is defined between the first inner sidewall and the second inner sidewall.
6. The wall cabinet of claim 5 , wherein the first inner sidewall and second inner sidewall each comprises a plurality of fingers, and wherein the splice section is accessible from the first cable manifold and the second cable manifold through gaps between the fingers.
7. The wall cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the backboard further comprises a plurality of tie tabs at an inlet of each of the first cable manifold and second cable manifold.
8. The wall cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the mounting panel further comprises a plurality of tie tabs.
9. The wall cabinet of claim 1 , further comprising a cover removably mountable to the mounting panel, and wherein the backboard is enclosable between the mounting panel and cover.
10. The wall cabinet of claim 9 , further comprising a tray, the tray storable within the cover and removably mountable to the mounting panel.
11. A wall cabinet, comprising:
a mounting panel, the mounting panel comprising a rear panel and a mounting bracket extending from the rear panel along a transverse axis;
a backboard mountable to the mounting panel such that a gap is defined between the backboard and the rear panel along the transverse axis, the backboard comprising a main body, the main body comprising a first outer sidewall, a second outer sidewall, a first inner sidewall, and a second inner sidewall, a first cable manifold defined by and between the first outer sidewall and the first inner sidewall, a second cable manifold defined by and between the second outer sidewall and the second inner sidewall, and a splice section defined by and between the first inner sidewall and the second inner sidewall, wherein the splice section is positioned between the first cable manifold and the second cable manifold along a lateral axis, and wherein the first cable manifold and the second cable manifold each extend along a longitudinal axis; and
a plurality of splice trays disposed in the splice section.
12. The wall cabinet of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of splice trays is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the lateral axis relative to the backboard.
13. The wall cabinet of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of splice trays is a mass splice fiber management tray.
14. The wall cabinet of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of splice trays are stacked along the longitudinal axis.
15. The wall cabinet of claim 11 , wherein the first inner sidewall and second inner sidewall each comprises a plurality of fingers, and wherein the splice section is accessible from the first cable manifold and the second cable manifold through gaps between the fingers.
16. The wall cabinet of claim 11 , wherein the first cable manifold and second cable manifold each taper along a portion of a length thereof.
17. The wall cabinet of claim 11 , wherein the backboard further comprises a plurality of tie tabs at an inlet of each of the first cable manifold and second cable manifold.
18. The wall cabinet of claim 11 , wherein the mounting panel further comprises a plurality of tie tabs.
19. The wall cabinet of claim 11 , further comprising a cover removably mountable to the mounting panel, and wherein the backboard is enclosable between the mounting panel and cover.
