CAUTION:
Do not bind cables at the air exhaust vent to prevent the cables from aging too fast. For more

Interface cables and power cables should be routed separately. Proper cable routing can improve
efficiency by facilitating installation and removal of fan trays, the PEM, and other components.
Follow these recommendations when you route cables:
Interface cables are routed through the cable management brackets on the left and right sides of
•
the chassis and bound at cabling racks on chassis sides, depending on the available equipment
room condition.
Put all data signal cable adapters neatly under the chassis (instead of any places outside the
•
chassis in case of unexpected damages).
The power cables run along the left-rear of the chassis and out of the chassis either from the
•
chassis top or the raised floor depending on the equipment room conditions (power distribution
cabinet, lightning protection box, and connector strip, etc.) of the exchange office.
Attach cables as close to the router as possible. The cables between the attachment point and
•
router interfaces must be bound loosely.
Long cables can be bound with cable ties. Do not bind cables at the air exhaust vent to prevent
•
the cables from aging too fast. For more information, see "Appendix E Cable management."
To identify cables, you can stick labels on them. For more information, see "Appendix F
