Cable Slack Managers

General
The cable slack managers (Figure 4-7) are raised floor units 32 inches (81.3 cm) wide,
38 inches (96.5 cm) deep, and 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) high. The cable slack managers are used
for cable distribution and cable slack storage between the system cabinets and the cross-
connect field. They can also accommodate a limited amount of slack in station cables.
Power cables from the switch and auxiliary cabinet are also run through the cable slack
managers. They are recommended for use with the system (instead of overhead cable racks).
Note: Cable slack managers are not required when the switch cabinet is installed on a
raised computer floor. The station cabling and the cabling from the system cabinets is
routed under the computer flooring to the cross-connect field.
The cable slack managers have tabs and interlocks that allow adjacent cable slack managers
to interlock together. Retainers mounted on columns inside the cable slack manager keep
