Additional Router Connections
This section provides information about making other, additional router cable connections. Follow the
procedures in this section based on your network configuration and requirements. This section contains these
procedures:
External Connections and Chassis Cable Ports
When connecting the router internal ports to external cables or exterior devices, you must thread the router
cables through the chassis cable ports designated for this purpose. Some chassis ports are reserved for specific
cables and remaining ports can be used based on your network configuration and cabling requirements.
When you make router cable connections through the ports, you must use cable glands as described in
, to protect the router interior from environmental elements, including moisture, heat, cold, and
dust. Failure to use cable glands with the chassis cable ports can result in damage to the router.
Caution
We recommend that you cover the ports mentioned in this section with a PG 13.5 plug when they are not in
use. Ensure that you torque the PG 13.5 plug to 10-12 in-lbs.
Note
Using Cable Glands
This section describes how to use cable glands with router cables that are threaded through the chassis cable
ports described in
External Connections and Chassis Cable Ports
.
The cable glands must be used for all cables that are threaded through the router chassis cable ports to prevent
exposing the router interior to environmental elements.
Caution
Ordering Cisco Cable Glands
You can order a cable gland kit from Cisco using the model number IR-IP67GLAND. Each kit contains one
cable gland.
