Guidelines for Using Fiber Optic Cables

  • Do not route the cable along a folding cable management arm.
  • For devices on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cables so they do not bend to a diameter of less than 76 mm (3"), or a radius less than 38 mm (1.5"), when extended or become pinched when retracted.
  • Route the cable away from places where it can be damaged by other devices in the rack cabinet.
  • Do not use plastic cable ties in place of the provided cable straps.
  • Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a diameter of less than 76 mm (3") or a radius less than 38 mm (1.5").
  • Do not place excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Ensure that the cable is supported.
