Manual 019807 REV A - June 2018

Finish coiling the buffer tubes you have been 

routing into the slack basket. If what is left over 

is not an appropriate length for a clean sweep up 

to the cassettes and there is too much slack, pull 

out a coil from the slack basket and resize the 

loop to take up the extra slack

11.

Bring the remaining buffer tubes into the bundle 

traveling across the panel and secure them in 

place with the velcro.

12.

You will now route the remaining buffer tubes, 

which correspond to the cassettes on the 

opposite side of the panel from the cable 

mounting location

13.
