Hardware Installation Manual 5. Cabling the Device
5.2.4 SHDSL WAN Cabling
The device provides support for SHDSL interfaces. The SHDSL interfaces are provided by
two RJ-45 ports, where each physical port has four wire-pairs, supporting up to four SHDSL
WAN ports.
Warning:
• The device does not include primary telecom protection! When the DSL telephone
lines are routed outside the building, additional protection - usually a 350V three-
electrode Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) as described in ITU-T K.44 - must be provided
at the entry point of the telecom wires into the building (usually on the main
distribution frame / MDF), in conjunction with proper grounding. The center pin of the
GDT (MDF grounding bar) must be connected to the equipotential grounding bus bar
of the Telecommunication room.
• To protect against electrical shock and fire, use a minimum 26-AWG wire to the
connect DSL port to the network.
Note: SHDSL interface is a customer ordered item.
