Cable Management
Due to the flexibility and complexity of configurations available with the Cisco ONS 15530, managing
the placement and storage of the fiber optic cables is a must. To avoid confusion and ensure the integrity
of the fiber optic cables used with the Cisco ONS 15530, we recommend that both ends of all fiber optic
cables be labelled. Labels for this purpose are shipped with the system.
Note The cable storage drawer can accommodate attenuators that are available from optical component
distributors.
The cable storage drawer provides the management system for the cabling. The following procedures
describe how to connect the cables on your system.
