Termination Hardware
Termination hardware for all cabling infrastructure is easy to set up. NetDoc™ makes it simple
to locate termination hardware when you need to move cabling; it’s also easy to track
ports/positions and how each is being used. (See “Termination Hardware ” on page 82.)
Ability to see termination hardware port/position details/status
You can see status and details of termination hardware ports/positions. The Port/Pos. The
Details tab of the Termination Hardware feature lists the ports/positions, Cable Type, Cable
ID, and Backbone Pairs/Strands. There is also an editable Status column that will
automatically show Available or Used status, and which you can edit to Damaged should a
port/position become damaged. (See “Termination Hardware ” on page 82.)
Cross-Connects
Cross-Connects between backbone cables, between horizontal links and a backbone cable,
and between a backbone cable and an asset are now easy input and tracked. (See “Horizontal
Links (HL)” on page 92 and “Backbone Cables” on page 105.)
Firestops
You can keep track of the location and type of every firestop in your infrastructure. When new
cabling entrances through firewalls are created, the associated new firestop can be recorded.
In addition, firestops can be connected to pathways via the Pathways tab. (See “Firestops” on
page 118 and “Pathways” on page 120.)
Grounding
Grounding for backbone cables, assets, pathways, and termination hardware can be set up in
NetDoc™. The busbar and conductors can be connected to pathways. (See “Grounding” on
page 114.)
