Connecting a Cisco Nexus Fabric Extender
This chapter describes how to connect the ports on a Cisco Nexus Fabric Extender (FEX).
Caution
When running power and data cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, we strongly recommend that
you have power cables and other potential noise sources as far away as practical from network cabling
that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by
at least 3.3 feet (1 m), we recommend that you shield any potential noise sources by housing them in a
grounded metallic conduit.
