Cable Management System
The cable management system (CMS) for Integrity NonStop NS16000 series systems contains
cable trays and vertical cable guides and is designed specifically for the Integrity NonStop
NS16000 series server components to manage all fiber cables, CAT 5e or CAT 6 cables, and for
some components and power cords. Using the CMS maintains the minimum 25mm bend radius
for the fiber cables and provides strain relief for the fiber-optic cables and the power cords. For
details on using the CMS, have your service provider refer to the NonStop NS16000 Series
Hardware Installation Manual.
