Cable Pass-Through
Cable Pass-Through
ACI – Double SpineGoal of this solution is to accommodate the minimum ACI Spine configuration of two Cisco Nexus 9508 Chassis’s. (Cisco imposed solution minimum for HA using chassis’s)
Parts needed to create a finished good preconfigured solution are: 42RU 800mm x 1200 S-Type Cabinet, 2 POU brackets, 2 side
panels, 2 vertical air dams, vertical fingers 2 Fiber Port angled replication panels (new part) – These
panels provide a 1:1 Leaf switch uplink (up to 588 patches) between 9508 line card and Leaf switches in other cabinets. Port personality in the form of inserted jacks are included in the appropriate cable bundle type and not in the base solution (LC or MPO jacks). Two angled panel covers on top/bottom of replication panels keep cold aisle containment, as well as dust caps supplied to fill the holes in the panel
2 – 2RU cool boot pass-thru’s to allow the front facing power supplies to be cabled to the rear POU’s
Grounding to include 2 whips from 9508's and connection to CBN
Strain relief bars on rear to accommodate slack of almost 600 inbound fibers
Cable management on back side of front rail to dress up to 588 patch’s between 9508 and replication panels
24 port 1RU Quicknet patch panel to account for 4 Nexus Supervisor connections to be uplinked, using Cat5e Cable/Mini-Coms
Cool boot inserts for both air dams and top of cabinet for patch management and inbound connections
Various accessories to further ensure cold aisle containment
Since patch cables are not included in the base configuration, there will be 2 offerings. Each offering is enough to fill half a line card per 9508: 36 LC patch cables to connect 9508 to associated fiber
replication panel, 36 LC adapters to populate panel 36 MPO patch cables to connect 9508 to associated fiber
replication panel, 36 MPO adapters to populate panel
*Active gear from Cisco is not included in the preconfigured solution**Patch Cables between 9508 and Fiber Replication Panels are not included in base solution. Horizontal links are also not included*
