1.5 Cable Routing

The narrow and wide cable routing modules (CRMs) can be installed on the sides of the bay to manage
and contain the optical cables as they are routed away from the bay. You can use both types of fiber
routing systems with overhead or under-floor cabling.

1.6 Customer Access Panel

The Customer Access Panel (CAP or CAP2) is located in the middle on the rear of the shelf. The CAP
and CAP2 provide an alarm pin field, timing, and LAN connections. The CAP or CAP2 plugs into the
backplane using 2mm Hard Metric connectors with 752 pins and is held in place with one large captive
bolt and multiple screws.
The CAP2 has the additional capability of providing provisionable power monitoring.
