Appendix - 2 Product Functionality
Grounding
Grounding for backbone cables, assets, pathways, and termination hardware can be set up in Cable Management. The busbar and conductors can be connected to pathways.
See “Grounding” on page
Splices
You can track the splices in backbone cables in Cable Management. See “Adding Splices” on page
Pathways
Pathways that house and transport cables within a company's infrastructure are easily tracked in Cable Management. The pathways can be interconnected. Cables in the pathway are listed. See “Adding a Backbone” on page
Ability to see backbone pair/strand details/status
The Pair/Strand Details tab of the Backbone Cables feature allows you to see and track source and destination of cables, ports/positions, and whether the pairs/strands are available, used, or damaged. See “Backbone Pair/Strand Details” on page
Filtering Logic-Navigator Tree
The information you see in the List and Detail View sections on the right side of the window is filtered by your location in the Navigator Tree. For example, if you highlight a campus, and then select Horizontal Links, you will see all the HLs for the entire campus. If you highlight a Faceplate, you will see only the HL(s) for that Faceplate.
See “Navigator Tree” on page 1-4.
Reports
With Cable Management, reports are output to HTML. When generated, they will appear as you have specified them in your web browser, and can be printed in color. See “Reports” on page
Reporting capabilities include the ability to print details of any record directly from List View. Report types include Asset details, Space details, TR details, and Backbone, Horizontal Link, and Mainframe information. See “Available Reports” on page
Cable Management's sorting/filtering/grouping logic means that you can create reports showing only information you actually need at a given time. It's easy to make reports specific to details of your cabling infrastructure.
