2. At the destination panel and bay, terminate the opposite end of the patch cord, then route
the patch cord left or right to the nearest vertical trough.
3. Loop the patch cord over the upper raceway or jumper support bracket to the adjacent rack.
4. Adjust the slack length at both ends of the patch cord to about equal length and dress the
excess length within the jumper retainers.
6.2.3
Cross-Connecting to Non-Adjacent Bays
Patch cords may be routed through upper or lower raceways to non-adjacent bays in an LGX or
LSX lineup. As a general rule, patch cords originating in LSX panels located in the upper half
of an originating bay are routed to the upper raceway. Conversely, patch cords originating in
panels located in the lower half of an originating bay are routed to the lower raceway.
6.2.3.1
Patch Cord Length Selection
Patch cord length is a concern when cross-connecting to non-adjacent bays because the bays
may be at various distances from one another. To select the correct patch cord length, you must
take into account the number of bays to be traversed and which raceways will be used to route
the patch cord. To select a patch cord based on these factors, refer to
