The cables that need to be connected during server installation include power cables,
PE cables, and signal cables. For a description of these cables, refer to Table 6-1.
Table 6-1 Cable Descriptions

Category Description
Power cable and PE Power cables and PE cables include:

cable  Power cables and PE cables outside a cabinet
 Power cables and PE cables inside a cabinet
Signal cable Signal cables include:

 Network cables connecting components inside a cabinet and connecting
cabinets
 Optical fibers connecting components inside a cabinet and connecting
cabinets
 Other finished cables (for example, Mini-SAS cables) connecting com-
ponents inside a cabinet and connecting cabinets
 Local debugging cables
6.1 Cable Installation Specifications

Cabling Principles
 Before installation, cables must pass the continuity test. Both ends of each cable
must be marked or labeled.
 Power cables and PE cables must be made of whole sections without breakages,
fractures or joints.
 Do not route cables on ventilation holes. Otherwise, heat dissipation is affected and
the life of cables is shortened.
 Do not bundle power cables and other cables together.
 Cabling in a cabinet must not affect the installation of the cabinet door.
82 SJ-20211130164257-003 | 2022-04-29 (R1.0)

6 Cable Installation
 Route cables horizontally or vertically in a flat and straight manner with round and
smooth bends. The cables must not be crossed, tangled, or twisted.
 When there is a small number of optical fibers, the optical fibers can be routed with
other cables and protected by winding tubes. If many optical fibers are installed, the
optical bundles can be routed into a vertical cable tray and protected by corrugated
tubes.
Binding Principles
 Cables must be bound neatly and in order with appropriate force. Cable ties should
be fastened in the same direction.
 The surplus parts of cable ties must be cut off from the root without any jagged edge.
 Protective measures must be taken when you attach a cable to a sharp structural
component.
 Optical fibers must be bound with optical fiber ties for protection.
Bending Principles
 Cable bends must be even and round curves. The bending radius of a cable should
be at least 10 times longer than the outer diameter of the cable and should not be
shorter than 30 mm.
 If two O-type terminals are installed, the terminals must be cross-connected (see A in
Figure 6-1), or one O-type terminal is bent at an angle of 45 degrees or 90 degrees
(see B in Figure 6-1). O-type terminals must not be overlaid (see C in Figure 6-1). A
larger O-type terminal must not be placed on a smaller one (see D in Figure 6-1).
Figure 6-1 Installation Methods of O-Type Terminals
SJ-20211130164257-003 | 2022-04-29 (R1.0) 83

 Bending points of cables cannot be bound with cable ties. A surplus length should be
reserved, see Figure 6-2.
Figure 6-2 Binding Cables
Routing Principles
 Upward cabling: Power cables and PE cables are led out from the top of the power
distribution cabinet to cable trays of the equipment room, and then routed to the top
of each device cabinet along cable trays.
 Downward cabling: Power cables and PE cables are led out from the bottom of the
power distribution cabinet, and routed under the anti-static floor to the bottom of each
device cabinet.

10.1 Making a Power Cable and PE Cable

Abstract
This procedure describes how to make a power cable and PE cable that are used be-
tween the cabinet and the power distribution cabinet of the equipment room. Cable ter-
minals in the power distribution cabinet depend on device requirements. The single-hole
O-type terminal is used as an example.
Note
A power cable has three wires, including two power wires and one PE wire. Power wires
and PE wires are made in the same way. This procedure uses a power wire as an exam-
ple.
Prerequisite
 The required length of the cable to be made is determined.

 Wire clippers, wire strippers, a crimping tool, a heat gun, and gloves are available.
Steps
1. Use the wire clippers to cut out a cable that is slightly longer than the required length,
see Figure 10-1.

4. Plug the wires into the tube of the copper lug until the wires are fully seated, see Fig-
ure 10-4.
Ensure that the copper lug is in good contact with the cable wires, and no wire is ex-
posed outside.
Figure 10-4 Plugging Wires into a Tube
1. Copper lug
5. Crimp the tube of the copper lug tightly by using the hydraulic pliers, see Figure 10-5
. After the crimping, drag the copper lug with full force to verify that the copper lug is
tightened.
Note
The dies used in the hydraulic pliers must have the same diameter as the cable.
Figure 10-5 Crimping the Tube of a Copper Lug
6. Move the heat-shrinkable tube to the joint between the cable and the tube of the cop-
per lug and cover the joint completely.
7. Blow the heat-shrinkable tube by using the heat gun until the heat-shrinkable tube
wraps the joint tightly, see Figure 10-6.

10.2 Making a Network Cable

Abstract
A network cable is used to transmit data between devices or terminals. Common net-
work cables can be classified into the following types:
 By connection type, network cables are classified into straight-through network ca-
bles and crossover network cables.
A straight-through network cable is used to connect an NIC and switch (or a hub). A
crossover network cable is used to connect two switches (or hubs) or two NICs.
 By physical type, network cables are classified into shielded network cables and un-
shielded network cables.
Note
The procedure for making a shielded network cable is similar to that for an unshielded
network cable. This procedure describes how to make an unshielded network cable.
Prerequisite
Diagonal pliers, wire strippers, RJ crimping pliers, a network cable tester, a multimeter,
and gloves are available.
SJ-20211130164257-003 | 2022-04-29 (R1.0) 105

Context
An unshielded network cable consists of unshielded RJ45 connectors and an eight-wire

(four-pair) twisted pair cable, see Figure 10-8.

1. Connector
2. Twisted pair
3. Cable sheath
Figure 10-9 shows the pin layout of an RJ45 connector.
Figure 10-9 Pin Layout
On both ends of a straight-through network cable, the wires are connected to the cor-
responding pins of the connectors in the same sequence. The wire sequence complies
with the EIA/TIA 568B specifications. For the connection relationships between the pins
and the wires, refer to Table 10-1.

On both ends of a crossover network cable, the wires are connected to the pins of RJ
connectors in different sequences. The wire sequence on connector A complies with the
EIA/TIA 568B specifications, and the wire sequence on connector B complies with the
EIA/TIA 568A specifications. For the connection relationships between the pins and the
wires, refer to Table 10-2.

Figure 10-10 Stripping Off a Cable Sheath
2. Arrange the exposed wires in sequence and use the diagonal pliers to evenly cut the
wire ends, see Figure 10-11.
For the wire sequence of a straight-through network cable, refer to Table 10-1. For
the wire sequence of a crossover network cable, refer to Table 10-2.
Figure 10-11 Arranging the Twisted-Pair Wires
3. Insert the four-pair wires into the pins of the connector in sequence, see Figure
10-12. For example, the white-orange wire is inserted to pin 1.
Note
After inserting the wires into the pins, you must observe the connector and ensure
that the end of each wire is fully inserted into the connector.
Figure 10-12 Inserting the Twisted-Pair Wires
4. Crimp the connector with the RJ crimping pliers, see Figure 10-13.

5. Insert the two connectors of the network cable into the RJ45 interfaces of the net-
work cable tester, see Figure 10-14.
Figure 10-14 Testing a Network Cable
6. Turn on the tester and test the connectivity of the network cable.
The indicators on the network cable tester light in different sequences for a straight-
through network cable and a crossover network cable.
 For a straight-through network cable, indicators 1 to 8 are lit in turn, indicating
that the network cable is normal with correct wire connections.
SJ-20211130164257-003 | 2022-04-29 (R1.0) 109

 For a crossover network cable, if the network cable is qualified, indicators 1 to 8

corresponding to the primary connector light in sequence and finally indicator G
lights, and the indicators corresponding to the secondary connector light in the
following sequence: 3, 6, 1, 4, 5, 2, 7, 8, and G.
Note
You can turn the switch of the network cable tester to "S" to reduce the lighting speed
of the indicators for correct observation.
10.3 Label Making and Pasting

This chapter describes how to make labels for the device, cables and cable trays to
clearly describe the connections of cables and tail fibers, and thus to facilitate equipment
debugging and maintenance. The requirements for making labels are as follows:
 Labels must be printed. In most cases, hand-written labels are not allowed.
 ZTE-dedicated labels should be printed by using the corresponding label templates.
Labels should comply with the following format requirements:
→ The site name is printed in font size 14 pt and other information is printed in font
size 9 pt.
→ Letters on a label should be printed in boldface font and bold format, and be cen-
tered in all directions (up, down, left, and right). The font size can be reduced if
too many letters need to be printed on a label.
Note
The format and content of a label can be determined by users as required. This chapter
describes ZTE-dedicated labels only.

10.3.2 Pasting Labels

Abstract
After routing a cable, you should paste labels on it for identification and easy mainte-
nance.
Prerequisite
Before pasting a label, you should write or print the related contents on the label.
Context
When pasting a label, check the following items:

 Clean the position where the label is to be pasted. Verify that no dust or foreign mat-
ter exists.
 When pasting a label, do not touch the label face.
 Do not paste labels at cable bends or other locations that affect cable installation.
 Make labels face the same direction. That is, the outbound side of a label faces up-
wards or faces the operation maintenance side for easy reading.
Steps
1. About 20 mm away from the cable connector, attach the label to the cable, and fold
the label tail to the left side, so that the label is pasted on the cable, see Figure 10-22
.
