Termination Hardware

Termination hardware for all cabling infrastructure is easy to set up. Cable Management makes it simple to locate termination hardware when you need to move cabling; it's also easy to track ports/positions and to see how each is being used. See “Adding Termination Hardware” on page 4-10.

Ability to see termination hardware port/position details/status

You can see status and details of termination hardware ports/positions. The Port/Pos. The Details tab of the Termination Hardware feature lists the ports/positions, Cable Type, Cable ID, and Backbone Pairs/Strands. There is also an editable Status column that will automatically show Available or Used status, and which you can edit to Damaged should a port/position become damaged.

See “Termination Hardware” on page 4-10.

Cross-Connects

Cross-Connects between backbone cables, between horizontal links and a backbone cable, and between a backbone cable and an asset are now easy input and tracked. See “Horizontal Links” on page 4-14,and “Adding a Backbone” on page 4-20.

Firestops

You can keep track of the location and type of every firestop in your infrastructure. When new cabling entrances through firewalls are created, the associated new firestop can be recorded. In addition, firestops can be connected to pathways via the Pathways tab.

See “Adding a Firestop” on page 4-25and “Adding a Pathway” on page 4-26.
