Managing cables
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways: for example, using cable channels on the port sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable management. With the horizontal orientation of the blades in the Brocade DCX
Following is a list of recommendations:
•Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the Brocade DCX
•The minimum bend radius should be no smaller than 10x the cable radius. The minimum radius to which a 50 micron cable can be bent under full tensile load is 5.1 cm (2 in.). For a cable under no tensile load, that minimum is 3.0 cm (1.2 in.).
•If ISL Trunking is in use, group the cables by trunking group. The ports are
•Generally, Velcro® type cable restraints are recommended to avoid creating sharp bends in the cables. Do not use tie wraps with optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.
•For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to which they are connected.
•Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vents.
•Route the cables to the sides of the Brocade DCX
•Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
NOTE
See “Cabling Best Practices” (available at http://www.brocade.com) for cable management guidelines.
