Accurate measuring of cables is critical to a successful and efficient
installation. Do not guess or estimate your cable lengths.
To determine the cable lengths that you need, be sure to consider
the following:
- Length allowed for service access, on both server and device ends
- Length from server to floor
- Tabletop to floor for desktop models
- 460 mm (1.5 ft) for stand-alone models
- Horizontal and vertical cable runs. Be sure to route cables around furniture
to avoid tripping hazards.
- Distance from floor to device. (This can include distance between floors,
between buildings, and so on, depending on the complexity of the installation.
For model 595,
the length of the RIO-G cable is a limiting factor in determining the distance
between the server and a separately powered I/O frame.
