Cable management for rack-mounted systems technology brief, 2 nd edition Abstract .............................................................................................................................................. 2 Introduction ...........
Abstract High-density server installations involv e an increa sing amount of power and data cables within each rack. Mismanagement of cable assemblies can lead to poor system performance, difficult maintenance, unnecessary downtime, and even safe ty hazards.
Cable routing guidelines To minimize maintenance, safety , and performance issues, routing of power and data cables should be in accordance with the following guidelines.
Securing power cables and connectors Power cables and connectors should receive extra ca re during installation, since loose cables or connectors can result in loss of power an d un schedu led downtime. A loose power connector can create high contact resista nce that can result in arcing and a fire hazard.
• Use cable routing accessories designed to maintain and secure cable. • Leave enough slack in cables for operation of arti culated arms and rail slides. Since actual conductor size and type vary among ty pes of cables, the bend radius ru le can differ among cable types.
• Do not allow other cables or components to exert tension on fiber optic cabl es, which can be easily crushed or damaged. • Avoid routing fiber optic cable around chassis and cabinet corners.
