Serial No. 08 / 334,783 filed on November 4, 1994. Background of the Invention Field of the Invention The invention relates to the field of telecommunications outputs for connecting devices that use medium cable verses and connectors. More specifically, the invention provides an enclosure with a set of receptacles to accept a number of different media connectors and features for cable management, to enable high integrity transmission paths and compliance with industry standards to service multiple areas of operation. job. Previous Technique There are many different types of accommodations to go to, wall mounting for telecommunications. All, however, include disadvantages such as imperceptible labeling. This situation is onerous with respect to large exits since they are difficult to hide. Smaller outlets do not present the same degree of aesthetic problem, due to their size. The labeling in general is mounted directly on the cover of the exit in plan view. This usually deteriorates the appearance of the exit. Even more, more often they are written to hand labels by the installer and therefore deteriorate the appearance of the unit and consequently the work site. Another disadvantage of the prior art systems is that many do not provide gravity feed connections, which are convenient; those that provide connections by gravity mount them on the lower edge of the housing; They are clearly difficult to inspect. A further disadvantage of many accommodations is that they do not provide excessive cable handling inside the box; Of those who do, in general they do not provide sufficient structure for handling, to handle all the cables used while maintaining minimum bend or bend radius requirements. It is also a disadvantage of the prior art that many of the commercially available accommodations leave the connections completely unprotected against impact. The present invention alleviates all these disadvantages by its configuration and structure. COMPENDIUM OF THE INVENTION The disadvantages and deficiencies of the prior art discussed above and others, are overcome or alleviated by the multimedia output of the present invention. In accordance with the present invention, a multimedia output is presented, which provides several advantages over departures from the prior art. For example: the present invention provides connection for gravity feed all the connectors used in the output. These can be as few as one and as many as twenty-four. The connectors for gravity feed, while providing minimum angles at no angle in the cable, still maintain an ability to be inspected from the icons used to identify the connector plug. Another advantage of the present invention is the complete aesthetically pleasing enclosure of the unit and the surrounding equipment. The exit, as opposed to a twisted pair or patch panel for fiber optic cable, it will be located in the workspace of an office or similar. Therefore, the aesthetic aspects in the configuration are important. The present invention, however, employs the configuration not only for aesthetic reasons but for functional purposes alike, such as the gravity feed connections. Another part of the configuration protection of the connections. Since the connections are placed on an inclined surface that converges downwards, the connections are protected against objects that fall in the vicinity of the multimedia outlet and against impacts by body parts of personnel or office furniture, etc. An additional advantage of the present invention over the prior art is that of SP-2840-A (project: to be published in January '94 as ANSI / TIA / EIA-568-A) to store ccessive cabling and maintain radios requirements of Elbow or bend, especially of fiber optic cables, has been fulfilled within the configuration and structure of this invention. This compliance is totally inside the enclosure protecting the cable in this way while maintaining this compliance. Additionally, the invention provides a second optional cable management strip in the form of a releasable spool or tray releasably attached to a member for idle coupling in the multimedia output enclosure. The two cable management strips can be used to handle larger amounts of cables or can be used to separate different types of cabling for the different connectors. A unique feature of the reel mode is the ability to trap the coiled cable. An angled space is provided for the cable entry. This requires that the ciaexbtle be bent to correspond with the angle of the space, which will be inserted into the reel; Once inserted, the cable moves to its generally straight shape and can not escape from the reel. A further object of the invention is to provide a label for identification of all the relevant information with respect to the unit, which is easily accessible, aesthetically hidden. This is achieved by placing the label in a cavity under the mounting face plate at a level that can be mounted in a hinged or in a manner to the body of the enclosure. The invention is mountable using screws, openings for coupling to standard electrical boxes of the U.S.A. or European single or tandem units, tape or magnets to fix the unit to most available structural or wall surfaces. The features and advantages of the invention discussed above and others will be appreciated and understood by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description and drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITY W The enclosure 10 of the multimedia output of the present invention is best illustrated in Figures 1 and. As will be appreciated, the shape of the outlet is complex, including a rectangular upper section 12, and a trapezoidal lower section 14. The lower section 14 accommodates on each of its two downward converging bottom sides 16 and 18, at least one, but preferably three receptacles 34 for accepting modular connector assemblies of the types described in US Pat. Nos. 5,217,190, 5,228,869, 5,295,869, and the patent applications of the US. Nos. 08 / 277,079 and 08 / 301,272 all of which are granted to the assignee hereof and are incorporated herein by reference. The enclosure itself including, in the most preferred embodiment and configuration, a top 22, a bottom 23, upper and lower left walls 16 and 17, upper and lower right walls 18 and 19, back 24 and front cover 25. Will be appreciated that the division of the upper sides W lower is simply a preferred configuration and is limited to them. For example, the sides can easily be in a single plane each as well as in other configurations. The most important feature of the sides (lower sides 16 and 18 in the preferred embodiment) is the fact that the sides are angled inwards in a downward direction. This allows the unique and substantive advantage of gravity feeding. Gravity feeding, as known to those skilled in the art, is the desirable orientation of the output telecommunication connectors, which determines that a connected cable emerges in a downward direction. This differs from the surface-mounted and wall-mounted connectors of the prior art which orient cables connected at an angle of 90 ° to the gravity vector; this is common in computer plugs and office phones * domestic. This orientation causes cable fatigue due. fold that you experience immediately adjacent to the plug- Even more, the cable and plug assembly is subject to damage by falling objects or even personal striking the assembly with a body part, bag, suitcase or chair, etc. Needless to say, these are undesirable disadvantages. The present invention alleviates this disadvantage by providing the angled sides 16 and 18 of the enclosure 10. The sides 16 and 18 are more preferably angled at 25 ° to the vertical, 65 ° to the horizontal top 22, it will be understood that the angle can diverge from the established optimum, as long as gravity is maintained. As illustrated in Figure 1, any of the telecommunications connectors described in the patents previously identified and incorporated may be used in the multimedia output. Since both assemblies modular gravity feed connectors 30 (illustrated in Figure 1) and standard modulated (not? Postrated) connector assemblies are employed, the preferred angle of 65 °, which is measured from the horizontal upper part 22 of the enclosure 10 has been chosen to accommodate both types of connectors. When a gravity feed connector 30 is employed, the resulting angle of the cable emerging from the connector is vertical, which is highly convenient. When standard connector assemblies are used, however, the angle is 65 ° from the horizontal, which is within the range of angles desired for ravedad power connections. In the most preferred embodiment, three receptacles 34 for modular connector assemblies are presented on each lower side 16 and 18 for a total of six receptacles 34. Additional receptacles 34 may be created by lengthening the lower sides 16 and 18 or by placing these receptacles in areas alternate of the enclosure 10.

To facilitate the separation capability of the modular connector posts of the receptacles 34, the recesses 36 are provided within the perimeter of the receptacles. The recesses 36 allow the insertion of a small object, preferably a screwdriver, to move the reta of the modular connector assembly inward to unlock it so that removal of the connector 30 from the receptacles 34 can be achieved. Since the insertion of the modular connector assembly 30 applies force to the lower sides 16 and 18, the brackets 38 are provided for extra rigidity. Preferably the supports 38 are used at each end of each receptacle 34 for maximum support of the lower sides 16 and 18. According to the step 22, bottom 23 and upper sides 17, 19 do not experience significant forces during installation of the modular connector assemblies, no support structures are necessary.

The brackets 38 are fixedly connected to the lower sides 16, 8 and to the rear 24. It will be recognized that the configuration of the enclosure 10 also leads to telecommunication connectors that are not part of a modular connector assembly. More specifically, if the bottom walls were formed without receptacles 34, simple openings can be drilled to accept connectors. In order to supply the cable to the various connectors 28, 30, several access routes for cables are provided. With reference to Figures 12 and 13, the most preferred embodiment "provides four openings or blind holes for guides 40, although they may be provided more or less for different applications. Blind guide holes 40 provide large and small blind hole segments 42 and 41, respectively. The different blind hole sizes are for aesthetic reasons. In the most preferred embodiment, only the large blind hole segment 42 is provided in the upper portion 22 of the enclosure 10, while both large and small blind hole sections 41 and 42 are provided in the upper sides 17, 19 and the bottom 23. The arrangement of the blind holes of guides 40 around the perimeter of enclosure 10, allows easier access to the interior cavity 11 by the cables entering or exiting in any direction. Although the preferred embodiment only provides a large upper blind hole 42, it is possible to provide blind holes of two segments. The interior cavity 11 of the present invention is made even more accessible to cables, by providing gates for cable entry 44 in the rear part 24 of the enclosure 10. As illustrated in Figures 4 and 8, the gates for entry of cables 44 are generally located at the center inside the back 24. In this way, the track or cable in the wall can enter the outlet room 10, without being seen by a user in fact.

Now with reference to Figures 8, 9 and 12, the cable management system is illustrated. As can be seen in the drawings, the back 24 includes several structures that extend therein in positions to advantageously receive excess cable and maintain that cable in a radius of at least 3 cm (1.18 inches) or greater in the case of a fiber optic cable, and four times the outer diameter of the outer plug for twisted pair copper cable. Centrally located at the rear 24 is a protrusion 46 defining the plug for coupling 48 (discussed below). Extending from the protrusion 46 are frames 50 and 51 at their respective flanges 52 and 53. The flanges 52 and 53 are preferably curved such that a continuous arc will include both flanges in a circle coaxial with the plug 48. Spaced from each flange 52, 53, there are respective fins 54 and 55, which are slightly curved laterally and extend at the perpendicular funeral to the back 24. If the arch of each fin were continued, the circle circumscribed in that way would be generally concentric arranged with a circle defined by the arc of the flanges 52 and 53. The flanges 52 and 53, in conjunction with the fins 54, 55 and the rear part 24, define a channel 56 for cable management and retention. The channel 56 in combination with the reel 62, can handle a significant amount of cable and keep this cable within minimum radio requirements that comply with the industrial standards. Additional retention mounts, for use in conjunction with channel 56, may also be included in the form of at least one latched structure 58 which is formed by a projection 59 extending generally perpendicular from the rear 24 and having a branching 60 which extends generally perpendicular to the projection, and generally parallel to the rear 24 in a direction spaced out by the protrusion 46. The hook forms a hollow structure for containing excess cable. The cupped structure 58 is positioned to cooperate with channel 56 to handle the cable. In the most preferred embodiment, two structures provided with hook 58 are employed as illustrated in Figure 13. An additional feature of the hooked structure 58 is an extension 61 extending from the projection 39"beyond the intersection between the projection 59 and the claim 60. The extension 61 is angled from one end to the other end to define an angled side view as illustrated in Figure 9. This extension 61 is used alone when an optional reel is desired for additional excessive cable handling. The spool 62 is employed in an alternate embodiment of this invention. Now with reference to Figure 11, the reel 62 is a second cable handling strip and rests directly on the above-described parts of the first operating strip 5. The reel 62 includes a quick disconnect lock 63 which is It is adapted to engage with the coupling plug 48. The quick disconnect lock 63 includes the release tab 64 for detachment if desired.To release the bolt, simply pull the release tab 64. The spool 62 comprises a central section 65. adapted to fit over the protrusion 46. The central section 65 the protrusion 46 have square shapes to prevent the # 62 reel turn once coupled. From the center section 65, reel frames 66 connect to the reel guide members 67. In the preferred embodiment, two of the guide members 67 are joined with additional material to form a reel channel 68. The reel channels 68, when the spool is coupled, substantially oriented in a manner similar to the channel 56 in the rear 24 of the enclosure 10. The other two frames of the mortar 66 end in the cable retention assemblies 69 which provide inverted channels 70. At the outermost end of the cable retention member 69 is the spool flange 71. The spool flange 71, as illustrated in Figures 10 and 11, has an angled side view that is complementary to the extension 61 that is in the structure with hooks 58, described above. Upon engagement of the spool 62 with the coupling plug 48, the extension angle 61 and the spool flange angle 71 form fh narrow space 72 running at an angle. This narrow angled space 72 is highly effective in providing an easy entry point for cable while concurrently preventing the escape of said cable. A technician who inserts the cable into the reel handling area will simply deform the cable to match the angle of the space 72 and then easily insert the cable into the reel handling area. Once inserted, however, the cable will acquire its normal shape without deforming, and thus will not align with the space 72. Therefore, the cable can not escape from the reel handling area. It will be noted that the cable can be directed to the reel 62 of any of the holes 73 in its base area. Now with reference to Figures 7, 8 and 13. They are also provided with characteristics of the back 24 of the they mold on the rear part 24 of the enclosure 10 and are engageable with strips or flat cables (not shown). Any number of anchor points are possible and can be placed in various places. The mounting of the multimedia output is most preferably achieved in two ways: magnetically, slot coupling, and threaded fasteners. For magnetic mounting, at least one and preferably three magnets are retained in magneto fasteners 75 located at various locations in the enclosure 10. Preferably, the magneto fasteners 75 are located, two on top 22 and one centrally below each other. the bulge The fasteners are simple structures adapted for press fit or by adhesive in a magnet, such that their edge can contact a ferrous surface for adhesion. The system for groove coupling, for threaded fasteners, includes the groove 76 ß it is arranged preferably for single or tandem outputs of two U.S. units, in which screws are screwed. External holes 79 are for mounting European exits. Threaded fastener coupling, is more preferable in the screws, and the screws are placed in the openings in the screw openings 77. It will be understood however that other forms of connection are possible such as tape with adhesive on both sides, etc. TrT Now with reference to Figure 12, a final feature of the first preferred embodiment of the multimedia output of the invention is the hinged front plate 2 on the front cover 25. The hinged front plate 2 more preferably is hinged to the bottom of the lower section 14 of the enclosure 10. This facilitates the reading or change of the label 4, which is preferably a set of 12 perforated industrial size labels and is removable by sliding the label 4 of the label guides 5. The label cover 2 is closed by any conventional locking assembly but more preferably closed by a press fastener 6 as illustrated in. Figure 12. It will be appreciated that the tag cover 2 can be connected in many other ways than by hinges and that the hinges are simply the preferred embodiment. The front cover 25 is connectable to the upper wall 22a and the bottom wall 23a, by any conventional means, more preferably fastener 78. The fasteners of the first preferred embodiment are illustrated in Figures 13 and 13a. It will be appreciated from the Figures, that when the fasteners 78 are engaged, they prevent or deflect the movement of the front cover 25 with respect to the rear part 24, upper part 22a, bottom 23a and sides. This is achieved in the preferred embodiment by providing an interconnecting locking system having opposing interlocking coupling members 26a, 6b and having mi-embros for channel definition 27. When the coupling members 26a, 26b are in the coupled position, they extend beyond each other in a gap defined by the other of the coupling assemblies and the mounts for channel definition 27. The extension projects beyond them and coupling between them in combination with the channel defining members 27, prevent movement with respect to the back 24. The release of the front cover 25 of the preferred embodiment is achieved by pressing inward on the upper bared 22b and the bottom wall 23b of the front cover 25, which releases the bolts, in such a way that the front cover 25 can be removed. Other conventional assemblies are also possible. In addition, and in order to prevent unauthorized entry into the enclosure 10, a screw is placed in a reservoir 7 that extends from the front cover 25 after the tag 4 and is received in the embossment 8, which extends from the rear 24. This will prevent the opening of the unit, even if the locks are detected. With reference to Figures 14 and following, an alternate preferred embodiment is illustrated. In this embodiment, the reel present in the first discussed mode has been replaced with a cable management tray 81. The tray 81 is connected to the rear 24 'in the same way that the reel 62 is connected to the back 24, that is to say when supported from below (or from behind, if the output is oriented equitably for use). The detached members 83, which appear similar to the fins 54 and 55 of the first embodiment, provide support for the tray 81. The members 83 are different however, since they are placed differently and are less complex. More particularly, members 83 are simply more preferably perpendicular extensions of back 24 '. Additionally, the members 83 function to provide the cable management below the tray 81 (or from behind with the outlet oriented .ra use). The back portion 24 'also includes two other features that differ from the first embodiment described. In order for the bolts 85 to extend to the retainer holes 87, the tray 81 must be kept away from the upper wall 22a 'or the rear wall 24 *. The proper spacing for the locks 85 is maintained by the shoulders 89 which extend from the inner surface 92 of the upper wall 22a 'inwardly towards a space defined by the upper part, bottom and side walls of the rear part 24. The shoulders 89 support the tray 81 while the edge 89a of each shoulder 89 keeps its upper end away from the top 22a '. It will be appreciated that the tray 81 is held in position by the rapid actuation bolt 63 '(in the same way as the 63 holds the spool in the first embodiment), and the members discussed above 83, shoulders 89 and edges The tray 81 includes at least one and preferably two cable management fasteners 91, these fasteners are generally known in the art. The tray 81 also includes the integral capture structures 92 and 94, each extending perpendicularly from the main plane of the tray 81. Each capture structure 93 and 94 further includes flanges 93a and 94a that extend generally perpendicular inwardly. , towards a central area of the tray 81. More preferably, the capture structure 94, is of a form • Radial to allow the elbow radius of the cable or the optical fibers there to be maintained. The capture structure 93, 93a functions both to contain the cable and to provide torsional support for the tray. While the tray mode is applicable for many types of cable, it is particularly suitable for providing a plurality of gates for optical fibers. This being the case, the tray mode most preferably ß although not necessary) includes a first support for splicing of optical fibers 95. The splice retainer 95 is generally located as illustrated in the drawings and more preferably is of a mechanical type. or fusion. A type of fusion is illustrated. It will be appreciated that other types of splice retainers are equally effective including, but not limited to, finger-operated splice retainers, etc. Another alternative assembly that is provided in this mode comprises the locks 85 and 85a, which are simpler than those used in the first embodiment, although effective. The bolts 85 extend from the upper part 22b 'of the front cover 25' and the bolts 85a extend from the bottom 23b 'of the front cover 25' to the cavity created by the rear part 24 ', cover 22a', bottom 23a 'and sides 16', 17 ', 18' and 19 '. The bolts 85 engage detent holes 87 when in the fully engaged position. The retainer holes 87 extend completely through the upper wall 22a '(thereby providing access from the outside of the outlet, with a small screwdriver or similar object that when inserted through the retainer hole 87 from the outside , will overcome the bolt 85. The bolts 85 include a lip 86 that sinks approximately 5 ° to the horizontal.The lip 86 securely engages the retainer hole 87. With respect to the bottom 23b ', the bolts 85a include a lip 86a which it does not sink but provides a ramp surface of about -45 ° to the horizontal, so that the bolts 85a and the bottom detents 87a are constructed to easily overcome the application of tensile stress to the cover 25 '. Due to this mounting, the retainer holes 87a in the bottom 23b 'do not extend completely through the bottom 23b'. It will be appreciated that due to the lip 86 in the retainer 85, a tool for sup The bolt is necessary unless bolts 85a are exceeded first by the application of force was traction. A final alternate construction of the second embodiment is a modification of the screw and enhancement 8, which assist in holding the cover 25 in the back 24. In this embodiment, the captive screw 96 includes wider threads 96a than the rod 96b in such a manner that the screw will not fall out of the reservoir 7 * when it is detached from the 8 'extension. The screw
