Checklist for Maintaining Cables and Connectors
Purpose You maintain the router cables in the cable management system to ensure that fiber-optic
cables have the proper bend radius and to ensure that all cables are organized and
securely in place.
You maintain the PIC cables and connectors to ensure that they transport incoming
packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the network.
You maintain the power cables and connectors to ensure that power is supplied to the
router.
You maintain the Routing Engine external cables and connectors to ensure that you can
connect external devices to the router. (See Table 92 on page 351.)
