Telecommunications tray assembly
A modular multi-positionable tray assembly ( 420 ) for mounting within a chassis ( 10 ) of a telecommunications panel ( 100 ) is disclosed. The multi-positionable tray assembly ( 420 ) may include support arm structure ( 423 ) having a first support arm ( 424 ) and a second support arm ( 480 ) that pivotally supports a tray ( 422 ) and that allows the tray assembly ( 420 ) to be installed and removed from the chassis ( 10 ). The tray ( 422 ) and the support arm structure ( 423 ) cooperatively define a cable routing pathway ( 208 ) that extends through a pivot axis (A 1 ) defined by the tray and the support arm. To protect the cables ( 300 ) and to increase accessibility of cables ( 300 ) within the portion of the cable routing pathway ( 208 ) defined by the tray ( 422 ), a bend radius limiter ( 460 ) can be provided that is rotatably mounted to the tray ( 422 ). The tray ( 422 ) can also be provided with attachment features for allowing the tray ( 422 ) to accept various telecommunications components, such as splice trays and splitter trays.
1. A tray assembly for mounting within a telecommunications chassis, the tray assembly comprising:
a) a rotatable tray having a base wall from which a sidewall extends to define a storage area, the rotatable tray being rotatable about a first pivot axis proximate a first side of the tray; and
b) a cable manager part secured to the rotatable tray, the cable manager part being rotatable about a second pivot axis proximate the first side of the tray.
2. The tray assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second pivot axis is parallel to the first pivot axis.
3. The tray assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second pivot axis is offset from the first pivot axis.
4. The tray assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cable manager part forms a snap-fit type connection with the rotatable tray.
5. The tray assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rotatable tray includes a first part of a connection arrangement and the cable manager part includes a second part of the connection arrangement secured to the first part.
6. The tray assembly of claim 5 , wherein the first part is a pin structure and the second part is a recess structure.
7. The tray assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cable manager part includes a top wall and a bottom wall extending from a back wall.
8. The tray assembly of claim 7 , wherein the cable manager part includes a downwardly depending front wall extending from the top wall and an upwardly depending front wall extending from the bottom wall, the downwardly and upwardly depending front walls defining a channel therebetween.
9. The tray assembly of claim 3 , wherein the second pivot axis is offset from the first axis in a direction away from the first side of the tray.
10. The tray assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cable manager part has a front wall having a dimension less than a distance defined between the second pivot axis and a distal end of the cable manager part.
11. The tray assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cable manager part includes a top wall and a bottom wall extending from a front wall.
12. The tray assembly of claim 11 , wherein the front wall is formed from a first part and a second part separated by a channel.
13. The tray assembly of claim 12 , wherein the channel is non-linear.
