1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a server cabinet.
2. Description of Related Art
Switches are generally mounted on a top of a server cabinet; and a plurality of servers is mounted in the cabinet, below the switches. A plurality of cables is provided for connecting the switches and servers. However, due to the large number of cables, it is often difficult to manage the cables in a neat way.
Many aspects of the present embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, all the views are schematic, and like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
A switch 30 is mounted on an inner surface of a top of the housing 10. A plurality of servers 40 is mounted in the housing 10 from top to bottom, below the switch 30. The housing 10 includes a side plate 11 to enclose the servers 40. An elongated mounting bracket 12 is longitudinally mounted on an inner surface of the side plate 11, located behind the switch 30 and the servers 40. The mounting bracket 12 includes a fastening plate 121 fastened to the side plate 11, two connection plates 122 perpendicularly extending from opposite sides of the fastening plate 121 away from the side plate 11, and two mounting plates 123 perpendicularly extending from sides of the corresponding connection plates 122 opposite to the fastening plate 121, away from each other. A plurality of spaced through slots 1231 is longitudinally defined in each mounting plate 123.
Each cable 50 connected to a rear side of a corresponding server 40 extends through a corresponding opening 236 of one of the mounting portions 235 of a corresponding cable management bracket 20, and extends up along the cable management brackets 20 to be connected to a rear side of the switch 30.
In other embodiments, the connecting portions 231 with the latches 232 and the slanting tab 233 are omitted. The neighboring cable management brackets 20 are not connected to each other.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and the functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the embodiments to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
