8.1 Overview
This chapter describes the fiber optic cable management for the 7360 ISAM FX-16
shelf.
The fiber optic cable management strategy is based on the following concepts:
1 To route the fiber optic cables out of the rack toward the vertical cable channels
located on both sides of the front of the rack.
2 To route the fiber optic cables within the 7360 ISAM FX-16 shelf toward the
dedicated fiber outlets of the shelf.
3 To protect the fiber optic cables using optional bending protection items.
The 7360 ISAM FX-16 fiber optic cable management strategy incorporates the
following hardware:
• Fiber management guides to provide proper fiber optic cable handling, support
and control.
Figure 65 shows a view of the 7360 ISAM FX-16 fiber guiding elements of the fiber
management kit.
