Chapter 3 Installing the Router Connecting Alarm Card Cables Caution Carefully adjust the cable in the cable-management brackets to prevent any kinks or sharp bends in the interface cable. Kinks and sharp bends can destroy or degrade the ability of the optical fiber to propagate the signal-encoded beam of light accurately from one end of the cable to the other. Also, allow adequate strain relief in the interface cable. Step 6 Route the cable through the fingers on the vertical chassis
