Cable supports and/or cable enclosures are installed for dedicated usage with enclosed electrical/ electronic equipment

9.10.1 USAGE WITH ENCLOSED ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

In certain locations cable supports and/or enclosures are installed for dedicated usage with enclosed electrical/electronic equipment. For these situations it is acceptable for these cable/utility management systems to be utilized for the required purposes of the equipment. This may include a bundle of cables, hoses, and tubing that is required to be run from the equipment console to the unit under test. In these situations the use of a cable/utility management system is considered to be a part of custommade equipment consisting of enclosed electrical/electronic equipment, cabling, cable/utility management system, and unit under test with associated equipment (See Figure 9-6).

In cable/utility management systems where cables other than those of the equipment exist, the decision should be documented that any risk posed by the situation is acceptable for the operation to be performed and to the functions of the existing cables.
