A P P E N D I XCisco Cabinet Dimensions A-1Cisco Cabinet DimensionsAThis appendix illustrates the space requirements for various system configurations in the Ciscocabinet and a typical cable management setup. It also contains a table with the height of Cisco WANswitching components in inches, centimeters, and rack-mount units (RMUs). This can help in thecalculation of height requirements for individual system configurations. The last illustration showsthe bracket installation in the Cisco cabinet (for a BPX 8620 node, in this case). The illustratedcomponents are the:• BPX 8620• IGX 8410, 8420, and 8430 switches• Cisco MGX 8220 edge concentratorThe sequence of illustrations in this chapter is as follows:• Cisco Cabinet• Cable Management• Examples of System Configurations• Table of Component Heights
