Secure Cables to the Cable Management Comb

1. Identify the prerequisite and subsequent installation tasks that you must perform in conjunction with this task.

   See Installation Task Overview.

2. While connecting the RJ-45, SFP+, QSFP, and PrizmMT cables to the switch, lay the cables into an available slot on the cable management comb.
   
3. Route the data cables so that they do not interfere with other cables, or with servicing the switch or other systems.

   Use hook and loop fastener straps to bundle and secure the cables.

   Note -  Do not use cable zip ties to bundle or secure the cables, because the ties damage the fibers inside the cables.
