If the patch cords are too long to be stored in the cabling space of the inner frame, guide
•
all extra patch cord lenghts to the cabling space on the left side of the frame and further to
the bottom of the frame, if needed. The bottom of the frame works as a storage for patch
cords.
6.3 Patch cords between the NC-1000 frame and equipment racks
Bring the patch cords to the left side of the patch panels and to the cabling space of the
•
frame.
Bring the patch cords first in the cabling space of the frame downwards at the right side of
•
the guides in the back of the frame. Turn the patch cords to the left side of cabling space
and further upwards along the back of the frame and through the opening at the top of the
frame. The appropriate turning point depends on the lengths of the patch cords.
Guide all extra patch cord lengths to the cabling space on the left side of the frame and further to the
•
bottom of the frame, if needed. The bottom of the frame works as a storage for patch cords, see the
earlier chapter.
Take care of the appropriate protection of the cabling between racks. If the patch cords are thin single
•
fibre cords or zipcords, it is recommendable to place them to e.g. fibre optic shelfs that have been
developed for these purposes.
6.4 Patch cords between the NC-1000 frames
Patch cords can be brought from one frame to another directly through the basements of the NC-1000
•
frames that work also as cabling conduits between the frames.
If the NC-1000 frames are placed side by side, the small hatches between the frames shall be removed
•
before fastening the new frame against the older one.
When the NC-1000 frames are side by side, patch cords can be brought from one frame to another
•
through those openings between the frames.
If the NC-1000 frames are situated back to back, patch cords can be brought from one frame to another
•
directly through the openings of the bottom plates in the NC-1000 frames.
