Cable Management
Cable management is the most visual aspect of your appliance setup. However, cable management is often overlooked because it can be time consuming.
Equipment racks and enclosures house more equipment today than ever before. This growth has increased the need for organized cable management both inside and outside the rack. Poor cable management not only leads to damaged cables or increased time for adding or changing out cables, but also blocks critical airflow or access. These problems can lead to inefficiencies in the performance of your equipment or even downtime.
There are many solutions to address cable management. They can range from simple cable management rings, to cable management brackets, to vertical or horizontal organizers, to troughs and ladders.
All Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance cables should be properly dressed so as not to interfere with each other or other pieces of equipment. Use local practices to ensure that the cables attached to your appliance are properly dressed.
