Chapter 3 Installing the TimeHub 5500
Rack Mounting the TimeHub 5500
If you are installing the wire-wrap panel delivered with the Master shelf (shown in
Figure 3-2), mount the panel in the rack after you install the shelf. Mount the panel
above or below the shelf, leaving enough space (at least 1 RU) for cable
management above and below the wire-wrap panel. A Cable Management kit is
available in 1U or 2U heights (093-55595-11 and 093-55595-12, respectively) to
complete the installation. A rack extender bracket is included for 23-inch racks.
Figure 3-3 illustrates one way to assemble the wire-wrap panel with the Cable
Management kit and the rack extender bracket.
You can mount the wire-wrap panel with either the connectors or the wire-wrap pins
facing the front of the rack; follow your company procedures.

Recommendation: For most applications, Symmetricom
recommends that you install the Wire-wrap panel and Cable
Management kits on the
rear of the rack rails. This improves the cable
routing from the rear of the shelf to the wire-wrap panel.
