a frame assembly comprising a plurality of frame members defining an interior region of the enclosure;
a support attached to at least one frame member within the interior region of the enclosure;
a containment bracket for encasing a cable or wire to the support, the containment bracket comprising
a housing having an interior region, the housing having a back wall, a first side wall extending from one side of the back wall, a second side wall extending from an opposite side of the back wall, and open top and an open bottom, the housing being configured to receive at least one cable or wire so that the at least one cable or wire extends from the open top through to the open bottom, the housing further being constructed such that the back wall of the housing has a width defined by the distance between the first and second side walls that is greater than the height defined by the distance between the open top and the open bottom,
at least one latch coupled to the housing, the at least one latch being constructed and arranged to be releasably secured to the enclosure without the aid of tools, and
a door coupled to the housing to access the interior region of the housing; and
at least one electronic component support member releasably mounted on the at least one frame member.
2. The enclosure of claim 1 , further comprising at least one clamping assembly to releasably clamp the at least one electronic component support member to the at least one frame member.
3. An enclosure for housing electronic components, the enclosure comprising:
a frame assembly comprising a plurality of frame members defining an interior region of the enclosure;
a support attached to at least one frame member within the interior region of the enclosure; and
a containment bracket for encasing a cable or wire to the support, the containment bracket comprising
a housing having an interior region, the housing having a back wall, a first side wall extending from one side of the back wall, a second side wall extending from an opposite side of the back wall, and open top and an open bottom, the housing being configured to receive at least one cable or wire so that the at least one cable or wire extends from the open top through to the open bottom, the housing further being constructed such that the back wall of the housing has a width defined by the distance between the first and second side walls that is greater than the height defined by the distance between the open top and the open bottom,
at least one latch coupled to the housing, the at least one latch being constructed and arranged to be releasably secured to the enclosure without the aid of tools, and
a door coupled to the housing to access the interior region of the housing,
wherein the support comprises at least one cable organizer releasably mounted on the at least one frame member within an interior region of the housing of the enclosure, the cable organizer being adapted to support the cable containment bracket, and
wherein the at least one cable organizer comprises a clamping assembly to releasably clamp the cable organizer to the at least one frame member.
4. A containment bracket assembly for encasing a cable or wire within an enclosure designed to house electrical components, the containment bracket assembly comprising:
a support; and
a containment bracket comprising
a housing having an interior region, the housing including a back wall, a first side wall extending from one side of the back wall, a second side wall extending from an opposite side of the back wall, an open top and an open bottom, the housing being configured to receive at least one cable or wire so that the at least one cable or wire extends from the open top through to the open bottom, the housing further being constructed such that the back wall of the housing has a width defined by the distance between the first and second side walls that is greater than the height defined by the distance between the open top and the open bottom,
at least one latch coupled to the housing, the at least one latch being constructed and arranged to be releasably secured to the support without the aid of tools, and a door coupled to the housing to access the interior region of the housing,
wherein the support comprises at least one cable organizer having an elongate body with a plurality of openings formed therein, the at least one latch being configured to enter into one of the plurality of openings, and
wherein the at least one cable organizer comprises a clamping assembly to releasably clamp the cable organizer to an element of the enclosure.
