•
Do not allow other cables or components to exert tension on fiber optic cables, which can be easily
crushed or damaged.
• Avoid routing fiber optic cable around chassis and cabinet corners. If this is unavoidable, protect
the cable.
Routing network cable
Network interconnects can involve a large amount of cabling due to the component/data path
redundancy required to meet high availability goals. Network devices also require high serviceability,
so cabling must be arranged to allow easy access to individual circuits.
HP recommends the following guidelines for routing data cables:
•
For components that must be movable while powered on, ensure that a full range of motion is
possible without cable interference or disconnection.
• When securing cables inside the rack, dress the bundle in a way that avoids interference with
installed components, rack side panels, or rails.
• Do not block access to field-replaceable components.
