Connecting Cables
7705 SAR-A Chassis Installation Guide 103
Hardware required:
• cable ties (optional)
To attach Ethernet and copper wire cables:
Step 1. Attach the cable to the port connector or SFP connector on the front of the
7705 SAR-A.
Step 2. Route the cables to the left or the right of the chassis. If desired, loosely bundle the
cables together using a cable tie. Do not over-tighten the cable tie.
Step 3. Attach the other end of the cable to the equipment.
Fiber Cables
Fiber-optic cables are routed in a similar fashion to Ethernet and copper wire cables (see
Figure 23 ). Cables are routed to the left or the right of the chassis.
Hardware required:
• fiber cable boot (optional)
• cable ties (optional)
To attach fiber cables:
Step 1. Attach the cable to the SFP port connector on the front of the router. If necessary,
attach the fiber cable boot according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: Arrange the cables such that they do not impede the insertion or removal of other
equipment mounted in the rack.
Warning:
• Fiber cables are sensitive to bending, twisting, and general over-exertion. Extreme
caution is recommended when handling fiber cable.
• In order to ensure that the minimum fiber bend radius of 1.2 in. (3.0 cm) is maintained
within the allowable space, an open-angled 90º boot such as TYCO 1374737-x or
equivalent is recommended. The boots must be installed and oriented during fiber
termination.
• Observe proper fiber connector handling with respect to the use of dust covers and
cleaning.
