Cable Management for the Supervisor PIC in the Cisco cBR Chassis

Cable Management for the Supervisor PIC in the Cisco cBR Chassis
The following accessories are used for routing the cables connected to the Supervisor PIC:
• Supervisor PIC cable management bracket
• Chassis-mounted cable strap-down clips
• Chassis-mounted snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guides
Use the upper cable management bracket and fiber/cable routing guides for routing the cables connected to
the upper Supervisor PIC and the lower cable management bracket and fiber/cable routing guide for routing
the cables connected to the lower Supervisor PIC.
The strap-down clips have multiple uses. They can be used:
• to strap down cable bundles or conduit (there are multiple tie down points on each strap-down clip)
• as a base for two snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guides

Required Tools and Equipment
• Cable ties
Step 1 Perform the following for the fiber-optic cables connected to the Supervisor PIC:
• If you are using a chassis-mounted snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guide, route the fiber-optic cables through the
upper slot of the snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guide and then through the upper slot of the Supervisor PIC
cable management bracket. Secure the cable bundle using cable ties.
• If you are using a chassis-mounted cable strap-down clip without the snap-on plastic fiber/cable routing guide, route
the fiber-optic cables through the upper slot of the Supervisor PIC cable management bracket. Secure the cable
bundle to the upper tie down point on the strap-down clip using a cable tie.
The following figures illustrate the possible cable routing options for the fiber-optic cables connected to the Supervisor
PIC:
