Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix C: Cabling Recommendations

·
Appendix C: Cabling Recommendations
During installation, route cable bundles upward or downward along the sides of the rack depending on the actual situation
in the equipment room. All cable connectors should be placed at the bottom of the cabinet rather than be exposed outside
of the cabinet. Power cords should be routed upward or downward beside the cabinet close to the location of the DC
power distribution cabinet, AC power outlet, or lightning protection box.

Required Minimum Cable Bend Radius

 The minimum bend radius of a power, communication or flat cable should be 5 times the overall diameter of the
cable. If the cable is constantly bent, plugged or unplugged, the bend radius should be 7 times the overall diameter.

 The minimum bend radius of a coaxial cable should be 7 times the overall diameter of the cable. If the cable is
constantly bent, plugged or unplugged, the bend radius should be 10 times the overall diameter.

 The minimum bend radius of a high-speed cable, such as an SFP+ cable should be 5 times the overall diameter of
the cable. If the cable is constantly bent, plugged or unplugged, the bend radius should be 10 times the overall
diameter.

Precautions for Cable Bundling

 Before bundling cables, correctly mark labels and stick the labels to cables where appropriate.

 Cables should be neatly and properly bundled, as shown in Figure B-1.

Figure B-1 Bundling Cables

 Route and bundle power, signal, ground cables separately. When the cables are close to each other, cross them.
When power cables run parallel to signal cables, the distance between them must be greater than 30 mm.

 All cable trays and their accessories shall be smooth and free from sharp edges.

 Holes in metal, through which cables pass shall have smooth, well-rounded surfaces or be protected with insulating
bushings.

 Use proper cable ties to bind cables together. Do not tie two or more cable ties to bind cables.

 Cut off excess cable tie cleanly with no sharp edges after bundling cables, as shown in Figure B-2.

Figure B-2 Cutting off Excess Cable Tie

21
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix C: Cabling Recommendations

 If cables are to be bent, bind them first but do not tie cable ties within the bend to avoid stress on the cables, which
may otherwise cause the wires inside to break, as shown in Figure B-3.

Figure B-3 Do Not Tie Cable Ties within the Bend

 Wrap up unnecessary or excess cables and bind them to the appropriate rack position, where device operation is not
affected and no damages occur to the device and cables during debugging.

 Do not bind power cords to the rails for moving parts.

 Leave a certain length of the cable connecting moving parts, such as the ground wire of the cabinet door, to avoid
stress on the cable; When moving parts are in place, ensure the excess cable length shall not contact heat sources,
sharp corners or edges. If heat sources are unavoidable, use high-temperature cables instead.

 When using screws to fasten cable lugs, the bolts or nuts shall be tightened and prevented from loosening, as shown
in Figure B-4.

 When using a stiff cable, fix it near the cable lug to avoid stress on the lug and cable.

 Do not use self-tapping screws to fasten terminals.

 Bundle cables of the same type and running in the same direction into groups. Keep cables clean and straight.

 Cables shall be tied according to the following table.

Diameter of Cable Bundle (mm) Space between Bundles (mm)

10 80 to 150
10 to 30 150 to 200
30 200 to 300

 Do not tie knots for cables or cable bundles.

 The metal parts of the cold-pressed terminal blocks, such as air circuit breakers, shall not be exposed outside of the
blocks.
