As network equipment such as routers and switches, continues to evolve, changes in proper cable-management techniques and recommendations must also keep up with the times. Routers and switches are being marketed with higher densities and more capabilities. These higher-density platforms have more cables feeding them and require more power. More powerful equipment gives out more heat, so careful airflow and thermal management is more important than ever. Density within a single cabinet is increasing. Upgrades every few years (or less) are to be expected, therefore cables should be routed in a way that maximizes accessibility and intuitive maintenance. When as much as 70 percent of network down time can. | Active Equipment Platform Trends and the Impact on Cable Management Trends and the Impact on Cable Management Active Equipment Platform Introduction As network equipment such as routers and switches continues to evolve changes in proper cable-management techniques and recommendations must also keep up with the times. Routers and switches are being marketed with higher densities and more capabilities. These higher-density platforms have more cables feeding them and require more power. More powerful equipment gives out more heat so careful airflow and thermal management is more important than ever. Density within a single cabinet is increasing. Upgrades every few years or less are to be expected therefore cables should be routed in a way that maximizes accessibility and intuitive maintenance. When as much as 70 percent of network down time can be attributed to physical layer problems associated with cabling faults it is clear that infrastructure design and cable organization deserve priority consideration. Technicians must be able to access each of the crucial elements of a system without maneuvering through haphazardly strewn cabling. This white paper addresses the four critical aspects of cable management as they relate to the Original Equipment Manufacturer Active Equipment platform trends mentioned above Routing paths Physical protection Installation Active equipment platform and maintenance issues When executed and managed properly these recommendations will help you gain significant benefits and savings throughout the life of your network. Active Equipment Platform Trends and the Impact on Cable Management Proper Sizing of Vertical and Horizontal Routing Paths Cable-routing paths should be clearly defined intuitive easy-to-follow and enable the use of standard cable lengths. The cable-management design should be clear to technicians so they can closely follow the routing paths intended. Leaving cable routing to a technician s imagination leads to an .
