Cable Management Guidelines
As the library expands to support larger configurations, it is important to restrain and organize cables and
power cords on the rear of the library. Doing so ensures that the rear of the library remains accessible and
reduces the possibility that cables become damaged.
Use this section to find cable management guidelines and best practices for power cords and Ethernet
cables. Use the equipment specified in
