5.4.2 Cable Layout PrinciplesWhen laying out cables, observe the following principles:

l For an equipment roomwith raised floor, underfloor cabling in cable trays can be used.l If overhead cabling is used, lay the cabling rack above the cabinet top to run cables.l Determine the cabling positions in advance. Cables should be arranged in an orderly

manner without damages to the insulation.l For external cables such as the power cable, fiber pigtail, trunk cable, and other signal

cables, use cable ties to bind those of the same type into one bundle. The spacingbetween bundles should be at least 20 cm.

l Cables must be bound in a neat and orderly fashion with even spacing between cableties.

l Cables within cable trays may be loose laid. They should be straight and avoidcrossover and protrusion from cable trays. Bundle the cables at places where theycome into or go out of a tray and where direction is changed.

l Do not apply tension to the trunk cables when laying them from cabinet to thedistribution frame. Avoid stretching the cables and leave some spare. After thelayout, the cables should be arranged in an orderly way without damage to the outersheath.

l Label each engineering cable, trunk cable, optical fiber, or power cable individually, ata position 2 cm from each terminal. The label content should describe the connectionof both ends. The format is “cabinet number, board number, socket number as shownin the following example:

à RNC12/BSC – CC01 - ETH0

l The cable layout should be convenient for maintenance and future expansion.

Chapter 8Appendix B WaterproofingOutdoor-ConnectorsContext

The waterproof processing for outdoor connectors adopts the“1+3+3” mode to wrap “onelayer PVC insulating tape + three layer waterproof insulating tape + three layer PVCinsulating tape” around the joint.

The PVC adhesive tape is used to protect connectors from damage as well as waterprooftape from ageing.

Steps

1. Clean the feeder connectors and feeder grounding clips.

2. Wrap a layer of PVC insulating tape around the connector. wrap the feeder with thePVC insulating tape in a spiral from lower to upper, and the upper adhesive tape shouldcover a half of the lower adhesive tape As shown in Figure 8-1. Do not use a greatdeal of tension on the insulating tape. It should never extend more than 50% of itsunstretched length.

Figure 8-1 Wrapping the Joint in PVC Tape

3. Wrap three layers of waterproof insulating tape around the PVC tape.

4. Extend the adhesive tape to up to 1/2 – 3/4 of the former width, in order to keepcertain extension strength. Bind the joint in a spiral from lower to upper, with the upperadhesive tape covering a half the width of the lower adhesive tape.

5. The wrapping direction should be in the same direction as that which screws theconnector together. Wrapping in the opposite direction is prohibited.

8-1



6. After wrapping to 20~50 mm beyond the connector, repeat it in the opposite directionuntil the tape reaches 20-50 mm beyond the connector on the other side.

7. Finally wrap a third layer in the same direction as the first.

8. After wrapping the connector with waterproof insulating tape, press down on theadhesive tape with hands and make sure it is bound tightly.

9. Wrap three layers of PVC insulating tape on top of the waterproof tape. Two ends ofPVC insulating tape must be wrapped 20mm farther along the cables than the upperlayer of waterproof insulating tape.

10. Wrap the feeder in a spiral from lower to upper, and the upper turn of adhesive tapeshould cover half of the lower adhesive tape, as shown in Figure 8-2. Repeat it in theopposite direction, with a final layer in the same direction as the original.

Figure 8-2 Completing the Waterproofing

11. Finally tie off both ends of the wrapping tape on the feeder with wire fasteners.

Chapter 9Appendix C InstallingExpansion BoltsSteps

1. Mark the locations for the holes on the floor or wall based on the engineering drawings.

2. Drill a φ10 hole (90 mm deep) according to the markings on the ground.

Note:

l Keep the drill bit vertical to the ground when using a drilling machine to markholes, and firmly press it downwards. Do not shake while drilling to avoid apertureenlargement and damage to the ground.

l Use a cleaner during the drilling process to remove dust.l If the ground surface is too smooth for using the drill bit, use a punching bit to cut

a depression on the hole position first.

3. Install expansion nuts.

a. Before installing expansion nuts, use a cleaner to clean dust from the holes.

b. Place insulating tube in the installation hole first to guarantee that the expansionnut is insulated from the ground.

c. Insert the expansion nut vertically into the insulating tube. Strike it with a rubberhammer until the expansion nut is completely inserted into the ground.

The lengths left of expansion bolts should be consistent. After screwing down bolts,leave a section of expansion bolt with 5mm or more than two turns protruding.
