6.3 Installing a Cable
1. Loosely secure fiber cable to equipment rack upright approximately 3 inches (76mm) above or
below panel, using cable tie or hook-and-loop strip. Leave approximately 48-inch (2.1m) length
of cable to route into panel.

cable to rear of panel on either side and continue to feed cable over top of rear apron.

cable. Select an opening on rear apron or either right or left side that will be most
advantageous for cable entry.
