Route cables between equipment to prepare for connecting the cables.
• "Prerequisites to cable routing" (page 86)
• "Cable routing task flow" (page 86)
• See 241-1501-205 Passport 15000, 20000 Site Requirements and
Preparation Guide to determine whether you need low-density, high-
density, or very high-density cable management hardware. Be familiar
with the functional differences between the extended cable management
brackets, the standard plastic (or metal) brackets, and the paired plastic
brackets.
• When the extended cable management brackets are needed to
accommodate very high-density coax cables, you must have ensured that
the footprint of the NEBS 2000 frame has 8.0 cm (3.25 in.) for the
required additional space, or that the brackets were already installed
according to the task flow "NEBS 2000 frame installation" (page 161).
You should already have addressed the location and spacing of the
footprint as part of your site planning as described in 241-1501-205
Passport 15000, 20000 Site Requirements and Preparation Guide.
• You can install both the high-density cable management paired brackets
and the extended cable management brackets on either side of the frame
or on the same side.
This task flow shows the sequence of procedures you do to route high- or low-
density cables. To link to any procedure, go to "Task flow navigation"
(page 88).
