Ethernet and Copper Cables
Figure 32 illustrates how Ethernet and copper wire cables are routed on the 7705 SAR-8.
Cables can be routed under or over the chassis. The T1/E1 cables with 68-pin Amp
connectors at both ends have their connectors attached such that when connected to a card or
distribution panel, the cable can run to the left or the right side depending on which
connector is used.
Hardware required:
• cable ties
To attach Ethernet and copper wire cables:
Step 1. Attach the cable to the port connector or SFP connector on the adapter card.
Step 2. Route the cables under or over the chassis. Typically, the cables for cards installed in
the lower half of the chassis are routed through the RU space left below the
7705 SAR; cables for the cards in the upper half of the chassis are routed above the
unit. If desired, loosely bundle the cables from each slot together using a cable tie.
Do not over-tighten the cable tie.
Step 3. Attach the cable to a distribution panel or appropriate connector.
Figure 32: Managing Cable Connections
Note: Arrange the cables such that they do not impede the insertion or
removal of field-replaceable units, including the Fan module, or obscure
viewing the LEDs on the Fan module.
