This section describes how to route the network interface cables through the
router cable-management system and attach the network interface cables to the
line card ports.
This procedure uses an 8-port fiber-optic Fast Ethernet card as an example to
describe how to attach a network interface cable to a line card port and route the
cable through the cable-management system. Depending on which line cards are
installed in your system, your cable connection procedure might differ slightly
from this example. For cable connection information for your specific line card,
refer to the installation and configuration note for that line card.
You can access the most current Cisco line card documentation on the World Wide
Web at: http://www.cisco.com.
Use the following procedure as an example to route the network interface cables
through the cable-management system and connect them to the line card.
Route an interface cable across the horizontal cable-management tray, through the
cable tray opening to connect it to the line card:
For legacy fiber-optic line cards, go to
•
For current fiber-optic line cards, go to
•
Install a plastic bend-radius clip on the strain-relief ferrule on the connector (see
blow-out in Figure 3-16).
The bag of bend-radius clips (Part Number 800-06119-01) in the
Note
accessories box that shipped with your router contains two sizes of
bend-radius clips. The clip size is determined by the diameter of the
strain-relief ferrule on the cable connectors. Use the size that provides the
most secure fit on the strain-relief ferrule on the cable connectors in use
at your site.
Insert the cable connector into its assigned port.
Route the cable up the cable-management bracket and carefully press the cable
into the channel so it is held in place by the cable clips
