Cables for Legacy Vertical Systems

Two types of cables are used to connect the 8-wide Legacy Vertical I/O carriers:

• The bottom cable extender connects a left I/O carrier (card position 1-8) to a right I/O carrier (card positions 8-1) at the bottom of the DIN rails. The bottom cable extender exits in a downward direction.
• The top cable extender connects a right I/O carrier (card position 8-1) to a left I/O carrier (card positions 8-1) on the opposite side of the cabinet at the top of the DIN rails. The top cable extender exits in an upward direction.

The figures in "4-Wide Legacy Vertical Power/Controller Carriers" show how the bottom cable extender is used in a typical legacy vertical configuration and how the top cable extender is used as a bridge.
