Since all faceplate to I/O panel cables are the same length and card positions
in the card cage vary, a cable can contain excess slack. It is therefore
recommended that cables from cards in the left side of the card cage use the
right I/O panel and cables from cards in the right side of the card cage use the
left I/O panel whenever possible, as shown in Figure 13.

As space permits, cables can be routed:
1 Horizontally in the cable troughs at the front, rear, and sides of the
module
Note: In a DC-powered module, because there is no MPDU, there is
room to route cables horizontally from front to rear on the left side (front
view) of the module.
