Routing the Adapter Cables through the Cable Guides
After you have completed all cable connections, secure the cables in the cable
guides by following these Steps for each multiaccess enclosure base unit:
1. Release the existing plastic cable ties that hold the cables in the cable guide
bracket.
Notes:
a. Do not attach any cable ties until you are finished routing all cables.
b. When fastening optical fiber and other cables together using the same
cable tie, be careful not to fasten the tie too tightly. Overtightening the ties
can damage the optical fiber cable. Whenever possible, route optical fiber
cables separately from wire-based cables.
