Abstract
A shelf assembly and system, which reduces the potential for accidental disruption of service or damage to neighboring transmission elements in a telecommunications network. The present invention operates to guide the transmission elements or fiber cables to and/or from a mounting position, and in or out from either side of electrical and/or optical telecommunications equipment. Fiber cables coupled at the mounting positions can be directed through reversible and removable fiber channels. Each fiber channel has a smooth surface and a radius of curvature, which provides an appropriate bend radius for guiding, routing, or bending the fiber cables into a fiber trough.
