The comb panel assembly, which installs immediately above the TX-SIBs, consists of
five combs—one comb above each TX-SIB. Each comb contains four teeth to organize
and provide strain relief to the four fiber-optic array cables connected to the TX-SIB
immediately below it. The fiber-optic array cables extend through the top of the cable
comb so that you can route the cables to the T640 routers.
The cable shelf assembly routes and supports the fiber-optic array cables over the top
of the TX Matrix router (see Figure 28 on page 52). The cable shelf assembly consists of
four parallel shelves. Each shelf is used to route five fiber-optic array cables—and
potentially a sixth spare cable—destined for a T640 router.
