1. Always route patch cords down from chassis termination point (A) or front-to-rear trough (B).

www.commscope.com Page 3

2. Always store slack on last end to be terminated and terminate both ends before storing slack. To do this: Terminate patch cord at origination chassis (A). Terminate patch cord at destination chassis (B). Route both ends to bottom trough (C). Pull slack to anchor spools (D). Move slack loop up and over storage spools, placing loop on top of highest spool (E), leaving a gentle drip loop below the anchor spool (D).

Route through front-to-rear trough (B) to rear horizontal trough (C) to destination frame front-to-rear trough (D) (always on opposite side of frame from termination point). Route down through vertical cable guides to bottom trough (E). Connect other end of patch cord (F). Route to anchor spools (G). Take up slack on storage spools (H), looping the slack over the highest spool leaving gentle drip loop below anchor spool.
