Acceptance problems in wiring projects rarely arise from the trunk, but mostly from the mess of jumpers at the bottom of the cabinet. A well-organized rack not only looks beautiful, but also reduces mis-plugging, over-bending, and heat dissipation obstruction. This article talks about the wiring arrangement specifications of the transceiver rack and the jumper area of the computer room. You can follow the numbers directly.

Layering and partitioning are the first steps

Transceiver central loading14-slot box transceiver rack, the power side and the uplink side are deployed in the same direction, and the line of sight is consistent during inspection.
Jumpers are divided according to up and down directions and directions, and vertical cable management rings are used for transition at intersections.
The remaining length should be stored in the cable trough on the side of the cabinet with a radius of not less than 40mm and should not be stacked behind the equipment to block heat dissipation.
It can be reached directly with a short length of jumper without leaving a three-meter margin for overhang.

Tie and label details

Tightening nylon ties can easily damage the sheath. It is recommended to use Velcro straps instead, and tie them continuously at intervals of 15 to 30cm. Port code labels are attached to both ends of each jumper, and the flag-shaped labels are in the same direction for easy scanning. Leave 1 to 2 meters of free space at the bottom of the cabinet and on the ODF side. Do not stretch or guess the cables during subsequent maintenance. When the transceivers are installed in groups, the pigtails should be led straight out from the holes on the rack panel to avoid diagonal tension.

Special treatment for high-risk points

For line segments where people walk or push carts pass, useSingle mode double core armored jumperAnd cover the wire trough; links with suspected high losses should be inspected at night with a visual fault locator or long-wavelength light source.

The core of wiring arrangement is to make every wire have a reason to exist and every bend be within the radius. For the matching configuration of racks, jumpers and labels, please call EB-LINK technical support at 0755-88844562.
