The EIA side marked “A” hosts 84 SMB connectors in six colum ns of 14 co nne ct ors. T he “A” side
columns are numbered 1 – 6 and correspond to Slots 1 – 6 on the shelf assembly. The EIA side marked
“B” hosts an additional 84 SMB connectors in six columns of 14 connectors. The “B” side columns are
numbered 12 – 17 and correspond to Slots 12 – 17 on the shelf assembly. The connector rows are
