Cable Routing and Management
The NCS 2015 shelf has interchangeable fiber and cable modules. Because the NCS 2015 shelf is designed
to be compliant with ETSI 600x300 standards, all wiring and cable connections are available on the front
side.
Default Module
The NCS 2015 chassis is shipped with the fiber module installed. If you need to use CAT5 cables instead of
optical fibers, replace the fiber module with the cable module.
Fiber Module
The fiber module can hold 160 fibers per exit point. The fiber diameter is a maximum of 1.8 mm. You need
to determine your fiber size according to the number of cards and ports installed on each side of the shelf.
