When cabling the other (right) side of the
panel, route cables and patch cords in the
opposite direction, toward the right side.
(Left and right side routing should be mirror
images of one another.)
Continue to the right, connecting
MPO-LC sections while routing the MPO
cable and LC patch cords to the left
as shown. Route the cables and patch cords
up or down the rack to the cable runway.
Beginning at the MPO-LC section 1
on the left side, connect the
first MPO patch cord
then connect the related LC
patch cords
per the picture above.
NOTE:
Order the cables neatly using velcro straps;
cut to length needed.
