•
Plan for the rack space required for cable management before installing the device.
•
Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the device, allows for
inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
•
For easier maintenance, label the cables and record the devices to which they are connected.
•
Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
