Install Cable Slack Managers
Return to Task List
1
Place the Z113A Cable Slack Manager against the wall under the MDF. See
Figure 163, Cable
Routing Through Cable Slack Manager (SCC1),
on page 442. Align the left side of the cable slack
manager with the first terminal block of the trunk/auxiliary field.
2
Place the next cable slack manager beside the previously installed unit. Align the tabs and
interlocks and snap the units together.
3
Repeat Step 2 until all cable slack managers are installed.
NOTE:
Nine 1/4-in. holes (0.63 cm) are provided in a cable slack manager base if earthquake
mounting is required. If a base is mounted on an uneven floor, shims may be required for
leveling and to assure proper fit of the covers.
Holes are provided in the sides of the base for bolting cable slack manager together. Bolts
and shims must be obtained locally.
4
The system cables will route through the cable slack manager as shown. Complete cable routing is
covered later in this chapter.
Cable clamps are required in installations with cable slack managers. At the rear of the cabinets, install 2
cable clamps using the screws provided. These clamps hold the 25-pair input/output or MDF cables in
place.
Figure 162, Cable Routing Through Cable Slack Manager (MCC1),
on page 441 and
Figure 163,
Cable Routing Through Cable Slack Manager (SCC1),
on page 442 show cable clamp placement and
cable routing.
