Abstract

A relay rack assembly for the management of cross-connect products and a multiplicity of wires includes a base and top, each base and top having a plurality of guide portions extending therefrom, each guide portion including an engaging rib. Vertical members are coupled between the base and top by slots disposed in the sides of the vertical members receiving an engaging rib on the base and top. First and second fastener inserts are coupled to both the vertical members and the base and top, respectively, thereby securing the vertical members to the base and top. The attachment of the first and second fastener inserts and the engagement of the engaging ribs of the base and top and the slots of the vertical members supports the vertical members substantially square or perpendicularly to the base and top of the rack.
