To allow sufficient air flow for cooling of the node interface, mount the
tap a minimum of 2 inches from the node interface.
To allow the dropline cable enough slack to not violate the 3-inch
minimum bend radius, mount the tap a maximum of 11 inches from the
bottom or left side of the node interface. Avoid routing the dropline cable
over AC power terminals on the node interface.
Figure 3.10 shows a tap mounted below a node interface. The trunkline
runs straight out through the sidewall of the enclosure.
