INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Location and Space

The DNI-3 panel mounts flush into both unequal-flange and equal-flange (EIA or WECO) 23" (58.4 cm) network bays. The primary limiting factor of a DNI-3 rack configuration is the number of cables a network bay can accommodate. (The DNI can accommodate 1280 coax cables.)

NOTE

Telect recommends a maximum of 14 DNI-3 panels per bay, regardless of bay capacity, for easy access and adequate room for cable routing.

Here are the DNI-3 space requirements:
