Connecting Interface Cables to Services Routers

You connect the interfaces installed in the Services Router to various network media. For more information about the network interfaces supported on the router, see the JUNOS Software Interfaces and Routing Configuration Guide.

1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the interface, as specified in Network Cable Specifications and Connector Pinouts.
2. Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the interface faceplate.
3. Arrange the cable as follows to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress points:
   1. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to the floor.
   2. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop.
   3. Place fasteners on the loop to help maintain its shape.
