Managing cables for the Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis

Manage the cables for the Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis to keep them fastened and out of the way.

The Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis ship with cable management brackets. The cable management brackets keep groups of cable clusters fastened and out of the way, but accessible for maintenance.

To facilitate card installation and removal, bundle the cables for each slot. Connect, label, and bundle the cables for each module together, then use Velcro straps or sheet fiber wrapped around the cables to organize them along the entire cable path before you connect cables to another module. Secure the Velcro straps or sheet fiber to brackets with lacing cord or tie wrap.
