Step 6 Insert all cables into their assigned ports.
Step 7 Place several evenly spaced velcro straps through slots on the cable-management
bracket (
Figure 3-17a).
Step 8 Route the cables alongside the cable-management bracket and secure them with
the velcro straps as appropriate (
Figure 3-17b).
Caution Make sure the interface cables do not have any kinks or sharp bends which can
destroy or degrade the ability of the optical fiber to propagate the signal-encoded
beam of light accurately from one end of the cable to the other. Always allow
adequate strain relief in the interface cable.
