Step 4 – Installing the Patch Cord Trough
A 1U-17 Patch Cord Trough (ordered separately) can be installed for routing patch cords to the faceplate and to
serve as a handle for sliding the tray.
To install the patch cord trough:
1. Loosen the two #8-32 x 3/4 inch screws holding the faceplate on the shelf (Figure 5).
2. Position the trough over the faceplate and tighten the two screws (Figure 5).
3. Install an adhesive-backed wire retainer (provided) on each end of the trough as shown in Figure 5.
Note:
Each wire retainer can hold up to 6 duplex patch cords.
