5.6.2 Special Considerations for Cable Routing
There are a number of special considerations installers should take when routing cables through the CMA.
This section outlines those considerations.
The distance from the end of the connector at the port to the first basket on the CMA should be 20" – 21"
long. This will give the cables enough slack at this end to prevent stress on the port and binding during
operation cycles.

The cables at the port side of the CMA should crisscross in front of the IOMs. To accomplish this, the
cables connected to the ports for IOM B (right hand side when facing the rear) should be connected to the
upper CMA, and the cables connected to the ports for IOM A (left hand side when facing the rear) should
be connected to the lower CMA.
