Example: In-cabinet length: 72 in. (12 in. + 60 in.)
A1 – Distance from switch plate to vertical manager = 12 in.
A2 – Distance from vertical manager to patch panel = 60 in.
Patch panel-to-pathway length: 3 ft.
Length along pathway: 16.5 ft. (assuming seven 24 in. wide server cabinets and cable exit on far side of 30 in. wide
network cabinet = (7 x 2 ft.) + 30 in.)
Pathway-to-patch panel length: 3 ft.

Total harness length = (12 in. + 60 in.) = 72 in. = 6 ft.
Total horizontal cable length
= (3 ft. + 16.5 ft. + 3 ft.) = 22.5 ft. = 23 ft.
Tips for Measuring Lengths:
• The specified length of a QuickNet
™
Fiber Cable Assembly is the distance as measured from the front of the
connector on one end to the front of the connector on the other end. Other than a nominal manufacturing
tolerance there is no additional length built into a QuickNet
™
Fiber Cable Assembly.
• Remember to account for any turns or obstructions in the pathway that may lead to additional length needed
(for example, ducting, support posts, etc.).
• Cable assembly bend radius limits must be taken into consideration, especially for multiple turns within
cabinets or as the cable assembly transitions to or from the pathways, and may require additional length of
the assembly.
