       7 . A cable rack device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more cable supports is located six feet or higher on the support posts 
   
   
       8 . A cable rack device of  claim 1 , wherein the components of the cable rack device are bolted together to allow for multiple configurations. 
   
   
       9 . A cable rack device of  claim 1 , further comprising an additional cable support base coupling one of the support posts to a support post of another cable rack device. 
   
   
       10 . A cable rack stand comprising:
 a rack base providing lateral stability   two vertical support posts extending from opposite sides of the base;   one or more equipment shelves coupled and supported by the two or more support posts; and   one or more cable supports supported by the two or more support posts above the one or more equipment shelves wherein the cable supports comprises: a support base extending between the two support posts, horizontal sections extending by telescoping means generally horizontally from both lateral sides of the support base, and a vertical section extending by telescoping means generally vertically from a distal end of each horizontal section.   
   
   
       11 . A cable rack stand of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more cable supports are located six feet or higher on the vertical support posts from the rack base. 
   
   
       12 . A cable rack stand of  claim 10 , wherein the components of the cable rack device are bolted together to allow for assembly of multiple configurations. 
   
   
       13 . A cable rack stand of  claim 10 , further comprising an additional cable supports coupling one of the support posts to a support post of another cable rack stand. 
   
   
       14 . A cable rack stand of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more cable supports are sized to receive a hundred or more communication cables. 
   
   
       15 . A cable rack stand of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more equipment shelves extend laterally from one side of the support posts. 
   
   
       16 . A cable rack stand of  claim 10 , wherein the horizontal sections extend generally horizontal from each side of the cable support base in an alternating pattern. 
   
   
       17 . A component cable rack system comprising:
 two or more cable racks each comprising
 a base providing lateral stability, 
 two support posts extending from opposite sides of the base, 
 one or more equipment shelves coupled and supported by the two support posts, and 
 a cable support supported by the two support posts above the one or more equipment shelves wherein the cable support comprises a support base extending between the two support posts, horizontal sections extending by telescoping means from both lateral sides of the support base, vertical section extending by telescoping means from a distal end of each horizontal section and; 
   a cable support couple one of the two support posts of one of the two or more cable rack with one of the two support posts of another of the two or more cable racks.   
   
   
       18 . A component cable rack system of  claim 17 , wherein the one or more equipment shelves extend laterally from a front side of the support posts. 
   
   
       19 . A component cable rack system of  claim 17 , wherein the components of the cable racks are bolted together to allow for multiple configurations. 
   
   
       20 . A component cable rack system of  claim 17 , wherein the cable rack is partially enclosed on one or more sides by one of: a solid, slotted, and perforated panels.
