Operating the Core Switch 2/64
Managing Cables
Two items are provided to assist with cable management:
98
Cable Management Tray —The Cable Management Tray is attached to the
bottom of the chassis, and can be used to route the power cables and other
cables down below the chassis or out the sides of the chassis.
Cable Guides—A set of 16 cable guides are provided with the Core Switch
2/64, and can be used to organize the port cables into logical groups, such as
according to port quads (sets of four neighboring ports). The cable guides are
free-floating and do not attach to the chassis.
The cable guides serve to keep the cables evenly spaced and to hold them
away from the port cards to make card replacement easier and to prevent the
cables from bending to less than the minimum bend radius.
Caution:
Do not route the cables in front of the air exhaust vent, which is
located at the top of the port side of the chassis.
The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile
load, and 1.2 inches with no tensile load.
Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily
overtightened.
