Connecting Cables
7705 SAR-M Chassis Installation Guide 123
Cable Connections
All port cable connections are made from the front of the 7705 SAR-M. Ports can be 
connected using copper or fiber-optic cables.
Ethernet and Copper Cables
Figure 29 illustrates how Ethernet and copper wire cables are routed on the 7705 SAR-M. 
Cables can be routed to the left or the right of the chassis. Shielded cable must be used to 
maintain EMC compliance.
Figure 29: Managing Cable Connections
Hardware required:
• cable ties (optional)
To attach Ethernet and copper wire cables:
Step 1. Attach the cable to the port connector or SFP connector on the front of the 
7705 SAR-M.
Step 2. Route the cables to the left or the right of the chassis. If desired, loosely bundle the 
cables together using a cable tie. Do not over-tighten the cable tie.
Step 3. Attach the other end of the cable to the equipment.
