Cable routing recommendations

Interface cables and power cords should be separately routed. Reasonable cable routing can improve
efficiency by facilitating installation and removal of fan trays, PEM, and some other components.
Interface cables of an S12508 and S12518 are routed through the upper and lower cable
•
management brackets on the chassis and bound at cabling racks on chassis sides, depending on
the available equipment room condition.
Put all the data signal cable adapters neatly under the chassis (instead of any places outside the
•
chassis in case of unexpected damages).
• The power cords run along the left-rear of the chassis and out of the chassis either from the chassis
top or the raised floor depending on the equipment room conditions (power distribution cabinet,
lightning protection box, and connector strip, etc.) of the exchange office.
CAUTION:
Long cables can be bound with cable ties. Do not bind cables at the air exhaust vent to prevent the
•
cables from aging too fast. For more information, see the chapter "Appendix E Cable management."
Fix cables as near the switch as possible. The cables between the fixing point and switch interfaces must
•
be bound loosely.
To identify cables, you can stick labels on them. For more information, see the chapter "Appendix F
•
Engineering labels for cables."
