Tellabs 179.1398 is a fiber management cable trough used in telecom rack installations and optical transport shelf systems. This trough provides a dedicated channel for routing and organizing optical fiber cables, helping to separate, protect, and guide fiber runs within a rack‑mounted telecom system. It’s commonly installed adjacent to patch panels or optical shelves to maintain fiber bend radius standards and improve overall fiber management in Tellabs optical transport and distribution frames. This part is typically referenced in Tellabs 7100 series installation documentation as the standard 1 RU fiber trough accessory.
