The present invention relates to a telecommunications equipment rack with vertical
supports on which are located equipment mounting locations, cable troughs for directing
cables to and from equipment mounted at the mounting locations, a base to which
the vertical supports are mounted, a triangularly shaped gusset reinforcing the
connection between the vertical support and the base, and an L-shaped gusset extending
between the base and a horizontal bracket mounted to the vertical supports. The
vertical supports are made from two U-shaped channels mounted to form a closed
rectangular channel. The present invention further relates to a telecommunications
equipment rack with vertical supports on which are located equipment mounting locations,
cable troughs for directing cables to and from equipment mounted at the mounting
locations, a base to which the vertical supports are mounted, and a lower portion
of each vertical forming a triangularly shaped gusset reinforcing the connection
between the vertical support and the base.
