CAUTION
To ensure your safety, as well as the warranty, reliability and
compatibility of your HD system, use only original ADVA equipment.
Cable Management Best Practices
Follow these guidelines when you manage your HD system cables:
l Whenever possible, use cable managers to secure excess cables.
l Before you store excess cable, use hook-and-loop bands or cable ties to loop and
retrain it. Never use cable ties on fiber-optical cables.
o
Recommended hook-and-loop band specifications: 10 mm, black
o
Recommended cable tie specifications: 100 mm x 2.5 mm, black
l To ensure proper cooling of the equipment, ensure that excess cable does not impede
the airflow.
l Leave an appropriate amount of slack at the cable end.
l Ensure that fiber-optic cables have a minimum bend diameter of 70 mm.
l If you are using breakout cables, the breakout point must be outside the shelf,such as
in a fiber management tray.
l Understand the fiber tray cable capacity for each shelf (see Shelf Cable Capacity) and
follow the recommended values.
Keep fiber-optic cables organized. If you do not use your rack posts for
fiber management, ADVA Optical Networking strongly recommends that
you use a cable and fiber tray.
