1.12 Cable Routing and Management
The ONS 15454 SDH cable management facilities include the following:
• Cable-management clips on optical card faceplates
• A cable-routing channel that runs the width of the shelf assembly
• Plastic horseshoe-shaped fiber guides at each cable-routing channel opening that maintain the
proper fiber-bend radius
• A fold-down door that provides access to the cable-management tray
• Cable tie-wrap facilities on EIAs that secure cables to the cover panel
• Reversible jumper-routing fins that enable you to route cables out of either side by positioning the
fins as desired
• Jumper-slack-storage reels (2) on each side panel that reduce fiber slack between connected devices
Note You can remove the fiber guide to create a larger opening (for example, if you need to route Cat-5
Ethernet cables out the side). To remove the fiber guide, take out the three screws that anchor it to
the side of the shelf assembly.
Note To remove the reels, unscrew the screw in the center of each reel.
Figure 1-20 shows the cable management facilities that you can access through the fold-down front door,
including the cable-routing channel and the jumper routing fins.
