Cable Management Brackets For High-Density Cabling - Nortel Passport 15000 Hardware Description

Cable management brackets for high-density cabling

High-density cable management must be done on a NEBS 2000 frame when
the number of cables exceeds the capacity of the basic cable management
brackets. See the 241-1501-205 Passport 15000, 20000 Site Requirements
and Preparation Guide to determine whether you need a low, high, or very
high density cable management.
The optional cable management hardware that accommodates higher-density
cable management for one or two switches in a frame includes
• paired plastic brackets as described in "High-density cable management
brackets" (page 320)
• the extended cable management brackets as described in "Very high-
density cable management brackets" (page 321)
You can use sets of the optional cable management brackets for one or two
switches in a NEBS 2000 frame as follows:
• a set of high-density brackets on one or both sides of the frame
• a set of extended cable management brackets on one or both sides of the
frame to accommodate very high-density mini-coax or standard coax
cabling
• a set of high-density brackets and a set of extended cable management on
the same side of the frame
See 241-1501-205 Passport 15000, 20000 Site Requirements and
Preparation Guide to choose which optional hardware is needed to
accommodate your cable density.
Since the location and quantities of FP types in one or two switches determine
whether the FP cables must be routed to the left or right side of the frame, and
up or down the side of the frame, see 241-1501-240 Passport 15000, 20000
Hardware Installation, Maintenance and Upgrade, the section on choosing
card slots. Use this information to identify where optional cable management
brackets ought to be installed on the frame.
