Connecting Cables
This section describes how to connect the Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router to external
devices and networks. Follow the procedures in this section based on your network configuration and
requirements.
Using Cable Glands
This section describes how to use cable glands with router cables that are threaded through the chassis cable
ports.
Cables must be a minimum of 0.20 inches in diameter to create an adequate seal within the cable glands.
Using smaller cables could result in an inadequate seal and therefore expose the router interior to
environmental elements.
