Abstract
Network rack systems for physically supporting modules of a network element and cable management structures for maintaining network cables in an organized manner are provided. An auxiliary side cabinet, according to one implementation, includes a frame configured for physical attachment to a side portion of a main rack structure, where the main rack structure is configured to support a plurality of modules of a Network Element (NE). The auxiliary side cabinet further includes a front plane connected to a front portion of the frame. Also, the auxiliary side cabinet includes one or more connector panels supported on the front plane. Each of the one or more connector panels is configured to support a plurality of connectors. The plurality of connectors are configured for communication with associated connectors of the modules of the NE via cables. Also, the plurality of connectors are configured as high pin count connectors.
