Abstract

An angled patch panel is mountable to a network rack. The angled patch panel includes a patch panel frame, rack mounting members provided on opposite longitudinal ends of the frame, and a plurality of connectors mountable on the frame. The frame has a first panel section and a second panel section angled relative thereto by an obtuse angle between 90° and 180°. The first and second panel sections each define a front surface, and the plurality of connectors are oriented at an acute angle α relative to the front surface of either the first or second panel sections.
