CAUTION
To ensure your safety, as well as the warranty, reliability and
compatibility of your FSP 3000 C system, use original ADVA parts and
components only.
Cable Management Best Practices
Use the following guidelines when trying to manage your FSP 3000 C cables:
l Whenever possible, use cable managers to secure excess cables.
l Before storing excess cable, use hook-and-loop bands or cable ties to loop and retrain
it (cable ties should never be used 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 end 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).
Because there can be many fiber-optic cables, it is important to keep them organized. If
you do not use your rack posts for fiber management, ADVA Optical Networking strongly
recommends using the FMT/1HU.
