Overhead routing kit

When installing an array in non-raised or raised floor environments, the host cabling and power are
handled from overhead using the top routing kit.

Note:

Utilize proper strain relief methods when customer-provided power drops are located

overhead or wall-mounted.

Dispersion kits

Each dispersed system bay requires a dispersion kit specific to the bay number. The dispersion kits
include a 82 foot (25 m) optical cable and optics for the dispersed engine. When installing a
dispersed layout, side skins (E-SKINS) are required.

The following table lists model numbers for new installations and upgrades.
