CABLE PASS-THROUGH PANEL FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015911 titled 'CABLE PASS-THROUGH PANEL FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a panel for an electronic equipment enclosure that is made of a metal-based material and has at least one panel knockout. The panel knockout is connected to the panel at attachment points and has a protruding notch along one side. The panel is designed to fit on top of the enclosure and removing the panel knockout creates an access opening to the interior of the enclosure.

  • The panel is made of a metal-based material and has at least one panel knockout.
  • The panel knockout is connected to the panel at attachment points and has a protruding notch.
  • The panel is designed to fit on top of an electronic equipment enclosure.
  • Removing the panel knockout creates an access opening to the interior of the enclosure.
  • The access opening has an edge with an indentation corresponding to the protruding notch.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electronic equipment enclosures in various industries such as telecommunications, data centers, and industrial automation.
  • Enclosures for electronic devices that require easy access for maintenance or upgrades.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a convenient and efficient way to create an access opening in an electronic equipment enclosure.
  • Eliminates the need for additional tools or equipment to create an access opening.
  • Ensures a secure and precise fit between the panel and the enclosure.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplifies the installation and maintenance of electronic equipment enclosures.
  • Reduces the time and effort required to access the interior of the enclosure.
  • Enhances the overall functionality and usability of electronic equipment enclosures.


Original Abstract Submitted

a panel for an electronic equipment enclosure includes a generally planar sheet composed of a metal-based material and at least one panel knockout arranged interiorly of edges of the generally planar sheet. the at least one panel knockout is connected to the generally planar sheet at one or more attachment points and is shaped to include at least one protruding notch along a side thereof. the generally planar sheet is adapted to fit atop an electronic equipment enclosure that defines an interior. removal of the at least one panel knockout, by severing a connection between the at least one panel knockout and the generally planar sheet at the one or more attachment points, provides an access opening through the generally planar sheet to the interior of the electronic equipment enclosure. the access opening includes an edge having an indentation corresponding to the at least one protruding notch.
