12.1 Overview
This chapter describes the fiber optic cable management and installation procedures 
for the 7360 ISAM FX-12 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-12 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-12 fiber optic cable management strategy incorporates the 
following hardware:
• Fiber management bracket and fiber management guide to provide proper fiber 
optic cable handling
Figure 108 shows a view of the fiber management bracket and Figure 109 shows a 
view of the fiber management guide, with a close-up of one of the individual 3-slot 
fiber guiding elements.
