SRCABLELADDER can provide enclosure-to-enclosure cable routing across an aisle or within a single row. You can combine multiple

SRCABLELADDERandSRCABLETRAYaccessoriestomeetthecableroutingneedsofalmostanycongurationofSmartRackEnclosures,

butplanningandmeasurementarerequiredtoensureasecuret.TrippLiterecommendsthatyoureadtheentiremanualinadvancetogaina

clear understanding of the installation process and accessory positioning.

Sample Cable Routing Conﬁguration (Top View)

UseatapemeasuretodeterminethedistancethatSRCABLELADDERwillbridge.(Preassemblingtheladdersectionswillallowyoutoobserve

theirattachmentpointsinplaceforamoreaccuratemeasurement.)

ThestandardlengthofSRCABLELADDERis10feet.Ifthestandardlengthandthedistancebetweenattachmentpointsdiffer,adjustingthe

positionoftheSRCABLETRAYaccessorieswillallowyoutochangethedistancebetweenattachmentpoints.Ifnecessary,youcanuseasingle

laddersectioninsteadoftwosections,reducingtheoverallladderlengthtoapproximately5feet.Inaddition,theassemblybracketsattheends

of the ladder sections will allow minor adjustments if you install them without pins, and you can add a few inches to the length of the ladder

byusingthealternatepinholesforassembly.IftheavailableadjustmentswillnotaccommodatetheSRCABLELADDERaccessory,youmust

cut one of the ladder sections. See Section 3-2 Ladder Modicationforinstructions.IftheSRCABLELADDERaccessorywilltwithout

modication,proceedtoSection 3-3 Ladder Assembly.

Note: Prior to installation, you must install the SRCABLETRAY accessory (sold separately) on each enclosure that will be linked by the

SRCABLELADDER accessory. For ordering information, visit www.tripplite.com.

3-2 Ladder Modiﬁcation (Optional)

Warning: When using tools to cut or drill metal, use eye protection and follow all other safety precautions recommended by the tool

manufacturer and required by applicable safety regulations. Use caution and wear safety gloves when handling metal parts that have

been cut to length. Sharp edges can cause personal injury and property damage.

Note: Do not modify the SRCABLELADDER accessory unless you have followed the instructions in Section 3-1 Planning and determined that

modication is required. If modication is not required, proceed to Section 3-3 Ladder Assembly.

Measureandmarkthecableladdersectionthatwillbecut.

Useahacksaworothermetal-cuttingtooltocutthroughtheladdersection.Makesureyourcutisperpendiculartothelengthoftheladder

and use a metal-cutting tool that will not bend or crush the ladder section.

(Optional)Aftercutting,useadrillwitha3/8-inchbittodrillnewpinholesinendoftheladdersection.Comparethemodiedendofthe

laddersectionwiththeunmodiedendtodeterminewhereholesshouldbedrilled.Makesurethattheholelocationmatchesyourplanning

and measurements. You may omit this step, but drilling the pin holes and installing the pins will make the SRCABLELADDER accessory

more stable.

3-3 Ladder Assembly

Assemble the two ladder clamps

A

withtheM10carriagebolts

B

, washers

C

andhexnuts

E

by inserting each side into the ladder

clamps

A

until they are stopped by the bolts

B

.Whenthesections

are joined, you can now secure the clamp by fully tightening the

nuts.
