Since all faceplate to I/O panel cables are the same length and card positions in the card cage vary, a cable can contain excess slack. It is therefore recommended that cables from cards in the left side of the card cage use the right I/O panel and cables from cards in the right side of the card cage use the left I/O panel whenever possible, as shown in Figure 13.

As space permits, cables can be routed:

1Horizontally in the cable troughs at the front, rear, and sides of the module

Note: In a DC-powered module, because there is no MPDU, there is room to route cables horizontally from front to rear on the left side (front view) of the module.
