Backbone Cables
Backbone cables are run between termination hardware. These cables
are often commonly known to run from building to building and closet to
closet.
Note: Cable Management was built to allow for several connection types
depending on the end user's needs. By providing this functionality,
Cable Management will allow for Backbone Cables to connection to
Hardware, through Splices, and Backbone related Assets if needed.
