Abstract
A wall mount chassis includes circuitry for telecommunications signals. The chassis includes a rear wall mountable to a vertical wall, and first and second sides. Each side includes a hinged cover. Each cover includes an access window for viewing an opposite side of the cover. On one side of the chassis is positioned at least one signal converter card for converting between optical and electrical signals. On an opposite side of the chassis are positioned one or more electrical power cards providing an access location for power to the circuitry. A CPU card can also be provided on the same side as the power card. An interior of the chassis includes a back plane positioned between the converter cards and the power and CPU cards wherein the back plane is perpendicular to the converter cards and power and CPU cards. A cable spool or a cable lance is positioned adjacent one of the sides for cable management. Cable clips are provided for securably retaining one or more cables adjacent each of the first and second sides.

16. A wall mount chassis comprising:
-
a main housing defining an interior for receipt of telecommunications circuitry, the main housing defining a rear wall, an opposed front wall and first and second sides extending between the front and rear walls;
the main housing including extensions defining cable openings adjacent to each of the first and second sides;
the first and second sides each defining a card opening sized for receipt of at least one telecommunications card extending generally parallel to the front and rear walls;
a back plane positioned within the main housing, the back plane including circuitry for electrically linking to the telecommunications cards inserted into the card openings;
first and second hinged covers, each cover hinged at a hinge adjacent to one of the first and second sides, respectively, each cover positionable in a closed position to close an area between the cable openings of the extensions and the card openings of each of the sides. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
