Routing Data Cables
Copper-based data cables from the back cards run up or down to the cable manager and pass through the
channels then run to either the left or right side of the rack. Fiber optic cables pass over the sheet metal
portion. The cables subsequently go to the related equipment (for example, CPE). The view in
Figure 4-21 shows only the cable manager on top.
