Ctp Cabling Recommendations - Juniper CTP2000 Series Hardware Manual

Racks are installed and electrically grounded according to manufacturer instructions.
Equipment racks are anchored to the floor and, when possible, anchored to the ceiling as well.
Equipment rack installations comply with applicable local, state, and national codes.

CTP Cabling Recommendations

We suggest that you comply with the following recommendations:
Ensure that cable distance and rate limits meet IEEE-recommended maximum speeds and distances for
signaling purposes. For information about attenuation and power loss in optical fiber cables see:
ANSI T1.646a-1997 Telecommunications – Broadband ISDN - Physical Layer Specification for
User-Network Interfaces Including DS1/ATM (1997)
ANSI T1.646-1995 Telecommunications – Broadband ISDN - Physical Layer Specification for
User-Network Interfaces Including DS1/ATM (1995)
Ensure that power cables deliver sufficient power to the device.
Attach laser fiber connectors only to Class 1 laser devices in accordance with IEC 60825-1, Safety of
Laser Products - Part 1.
Route cables so that they do not restrict ventilation or airflow.
Route cables so that modules and field-replaceable units are easily accessible.
Route cables in a logical direction to prevent loss of connectivity to other equipment in the rack, associated
equipment in adjacent racks, or to the backbone network.
Consider using cable-management brackets to keep network cables untangled and orderly and to prevent
cables from hindering access to other slots.
For additional cable recommendations, consult the document GR-63–CORE: Network Equipment Building
System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection, Issue 2, April 2002.
