How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton Toolless Straight Channel Section for Fiber Routing System

• Step 1: Plan your fiber routing path within the SmartRack enclosure. Identify straight runs where the channel section will be installed and ensure there is adequate clearance for cables and any adjacent components.
• Step 2: Position the straight channel section in alignment with adjacent SR components. Take advantage of the toolless design to connect sections without specialized hardware, ensuring smooth, continuous runs across joins.
• Step 3: Connect the channel section to the routing framework or mounting rails using the intended toolless connectors or compatible quick-connect mechanisms. Confirm a secure fit that resists movement during system operation.
• Step 4: Route fiber cables into the channel, taking care to maintain proper bend radii and avoiding excessive tension. Use cable guides or dividers if available to keep fibers organized and protected against abrasion.
• Step 5: Inspect the installed path for clearance, airflow, and ease of maintenance. Remove any obstructions and perform a light cable pull test to verify that fibers can be accessed and serviced without disconnecting other components.
