Chassis Cable Ports
The router chassis has the following cable ports for router network and power cables:
•
Door
—Two cable ports on the front door, shown in
Figure 3-2
, provide support for third party radio
cabling. The router supports installation of a compatible radio, as described in the
“Installing
External Non-Cisco Modules” section on page 13-1
.
•
Chassis
—Seven cable ports on the router base, shown in
Figure 3-7
, provide support for router
network cabling, as described in the
“Installing the Router”
chapter.
Cable Glands
A cable gland (also known as a cable connector) is required to install cables in the chassis cable ports.
Use a compatible cable gland to attach and secure the end of a cable to the router. The cable gland
provides cable strain relief and seals the cable entry into the router chassis to prevent damage to the
router interior.

environmental elements.
