Installing Cable Slack Managers - Avaya S8500 Manual

Installing Cable Slack Managers

Run excess cables on an upper cable ladder (if the MDF connectors are on top) or route them through a
cable slack manager that is placed next to the MDF.
1
Place the Z113A Cable Slack Manager against the wall under the MDF. See
routing through Cable Slack Manager—example for SCC1 Media Gateway,
the left side of the cable slack manager with the first terminal block of the trunk/auxiliary field.
2
Place the next cable slack manager beside the previously installed unit. Align the tabs and
interlocks and snap the units together.
3
Repeat Step 2 until all cable slack managers are installed.
4
An example of how the media gateway cables route through the cable slack manager is shown in
Figure 62, Cable routing through Cable Slack Manager—example for MCC1 Media Gateway,
page 183.
Cable clamps are required in installations with cable slack managers. At the rear of the media gateways,
install two cable clamps using the screws provided. These clamps hold the 25-pair input/output or MDF
cables in place.

NOTE:
Nine 1/4-inch (0.63 centimeter) holes are provided in a cable slack manager base if
earthquake mounting is required. If a base is mounted on an uneven floor, shims may be
required for leveling and to assure proper fit of the covers.
Holes are provided in the sides of the base for bolting cable slack manager together.
Obtain bolts and shims locally.
