Backbone Cables

Backbone cables are run between termination hardware. These cables are often commonly known to run from building to building and closet to closet.

Note: Cable Management was built to allow for several connection types depending on the end user's needs. By providing this functionality, Cable Management will allow for Backbone Cables to connection to Hardware, through Splices, and Backbone related Assets if needed.

See also “Backbone Source” on page 4-21and “Backbone Destination” on page 4-21.

In Cable Management, adding a Backbone Cable is comprised of a number of steps reflected in the tabs in the Backbone Cables Detail View.
