Plastic horseshoe-shaped fiber guides at each side opening of the cable-routing channel that ensure
the proper bend radius is maintained in the fibers,
You can remove the fiber guide if necessary to create a larger opening (if you need to route
CAT-5 Ethernet cables out the side, for example). To remove the fiber guide, take out the three
screws that anchor it to the side of the shelf assembly.
A fold-down door that provides access to the cable-management tray
Reversible jumper routing fins that enable you to route cables out either side by positioning the fins
as desired
Jumper slack storage reels (2) on each side panel that reduce the amount of slack in cables that are
connected to other devices
To remove the jumper slack storage reels, take out the screw in the center of each reel.
Optional fiber management tray (recommended for DWDM nodes)
shows the cable management facilities that you can access through the fold-down front door,
