Setting Up the Cabling Infrastructure
Backbone Cables
Backbone cables are run between termination hardware. These cables are often run from
building to building and closet to closet.
Note: NetDoc™ was built to allow for several connection types, depending on the needs
of the end user. By providing this functionality, backbone cables can connect to hardware,
through splices and backbone-related assets, if needed. See “Setting Backbone Source
and Destination” on page 1-107.
Adding a backbone cable is accomplished in the Detail View of the Backbone Cable.
