Abstract

A recessed connectorized faceplate assembly for connecting multiple cables at the front of an electronics equipment shelf. The recessed connectorized faceplate assembly includes a connectorized faceplate defining the back wall of a cabling volume behind where a standard faceplate would normally be situated. The cabling volume has an aperture admitting cables routed from a cable trough situated between equipment shelves. The front of the cabling volume comprises a hinged faceplate granting access to the cabling volume. Access is via a pivoting panel forming one of the sidewalls. A bridging cable connecting the circuit card containing the faceplate to the backplane allows partial withdrawal of the card while maintaining connections.
