Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket and Connecting Cables
The CiscoXR 12406 router line cards use cable-management brackets to:
•Organizing the network interface cables
•Keeping the network interface cables out of the way
•Positioning connectors at their respective ports on the line card fa ceplate
•Keeping the cables free of sharp bends (excessive bending in a network
interface cable can cause performance degradation)
When you install a new RP or line card, you need to attach the line card
cable-management bracket to the faceplate of the c ard before connecting the
cables. The type of cable-management bracket u sed by a line card is determined
by the card type and the number of network interface ports it ha s.
