APPENDIX
A
Cisco Cabinet Dimensions
This appendix illustrates the space requirements for various system configurations in the Cisco
cabinet and a typical cable management setup. It also contains a table with the height of Cisco WAN
switching components in inches, centimeters, and rack-mount units (RMUs). This can help in the
calculation of height requirements for individual system configurations. The last illustration shows
the bracket installation in the Cisco cabinet (for a BPX 8620 node, in this case). The illustrated
components are the:
• BPX 8620
• IGX 8410, 8420, and 8430 switches
• Cisco MGX 8220 edge concentrator
The sequence of illustrations in this chapter is as follows:
• Cisco Cabinet
• Cable Management
• Examples of System Configurations
• Table of Component Heights
