Routing and Connecting Cables and Fibers in
the Frame
In general, all electrical traffic cables, power cables, alarm cables, and data cables are routed in the space
beneath the NPT-1020 platform and the frame floor. All optical fibers should be routed through the flexible
tube attached to the right side of the wall-mounted frame. The side to which the cables are passed is
determined by the side of the connectors on the NPT-1020 front panel. For instance, power connectors are
on the left side of the NPT-1020, so power cables are routed on the left side beneath the platform. The
cables are then attached to the cable supports on the left side of the frame with cable ties.
When routing the various types of cables, observe these principles to avoid electromagnetic and RF
interference:
Traffic cables must not be routed in the same route as power cables.
Optical fibers must be routed through the special flexible tube only.
