2Vertically on the sides of the module

3Vertically in the corner channels in the rear of the module (shielded cables only)

CAUTION

Damage to Equipment

Cables must be routed as perpendicular as possible to any nearby power cables. Avoid routing cables near power cables if alternate routing is available. (At the rear of the module, cables routed between the I/O panel and the rear cover can be parallel to the power cables because the panel provides EMI shielding.)

Nortel recommends that you use the 90° connector end of the cable to route the cable through a module or cabinet instead of the 180° end, since some openings are small (see Figures 14 and 15). Furthermore, Nortel recommends that you route cables top-to-bottom so gravity will ease installation.
