INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Location and Space
The DNI-3 panel mounts flush into both unequal-flange and equal-flange
(EIA or WECO) 23" (58.4 cm) network bays. The primary limiting factor
of a DNI-3 rack configuration is the number of cables a network bay can
accommodate. (The DNI can accommodate 1280 coax cables.)
NOTE
Telect recommends a maximum of 14 DNI-3 panels per bay, regardless of
bay capacity, for easy access and adequate room for cable routing.
Here are the DNI-3 space requirements:
