Cable Management
Cable management is the most visual aspect of your appliance setup. However, cable management is often
overlooked because it can be time consuming.
Equipment racks and enclosures house more equipment today than ever before. This growth has increased
the need for organized cable management both inside and outside the rack. Poor cable management not only
leads to damaged cables or increased time for adding or changing cables, but also blocks critical airflow or
access. These problems can lead to inefficiencies in the performance of your equipment or even downtime.
There are many solutions to address cable management. They can range from simple cable management rings,
to vertical or horizontal organizers, to troughs and ladders.
All Cisco SNS-3515 or Cisco SNS-3595 appliance cables should be properly dressed so as not to interfere
with each other or other pieces of equipment. Use local practices to ensure that the cables attached to your
appliance are properly dressed.
