Caution Carefully adjust the interface cable in the RP or line card cable-management
bracket to prevent any kinks or sharp bends in the interface cable. Kinks and sharp
bends 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.
Also, allow adequate strain relief in the interface cable.
Step 3 Route the cable to the chassis cable-management bracket mounted to the left side
of the chassis (Figure 3-7).
• Use the screws packaged with the chassis cable management bracket kit.
