NonStop NS14000 Series Planning Guide (H06.13+)

Cable Management System
NonStop NS14000 series systems include the cable management system (CMS) to protect all
power, fiber-optic, and CAT 5e or CAT 6 Ethernet cables within the systems. The CMS maintains
a 25 millimeter (1 inch) minimum bend radius for the fiber-optic cables and provides strain relief
for all cables.
Several NonStop NS14000 series enclosures, specifically the NonStop Blade Element and LSU,
integrate CMS provisions for routing and securing the fiber-optic cables to prevent damaging them
when the enclosures are moved out and back into the cabinet for servicing.
Additionally, cable spools mounted on the inside of the cabinet structure provide the means for
looping and containing free lengths of fiber-optic cables to prevent damage.
For details on using the CMS, refer to the NonStop NS14000 Hardware Installation Manual.
