at least one enclosure, each enclosure having:
a floor defining a floor area having a major dimension;
a cover having a bottom surface, wherein a spacing between the bottom surface of the cover and the floor defines a cage height; and

wherein a ratio of the cage height to the major dimension of the floor area of each enclosure of the at least one enclosure is at least 0.70; and
a first cable movably coupled to the cover of the at least one enclosure, the first cable having a predetermined operative length,
wherein the cage height is selected to cooperate with the predetermined operative length of the first cable to maintain an entirety of the cable at or above a threshold distance from the floor of the at least one enclosure at every possible angular orientation of the first cable within the at least one enclosure, wherein the threshold distance is from 1 mm to 10 mm.
