Preventing Damage to the Router
Before installation, observe these general guidelines:
• Proper ESD protection should be observed.
• Ensure the router is properly grounded.
• Ensure there is proper airflow around the router.
If you must supply your own cable, see the Technical Specifications for cabling specifications. If this appendix
does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we strongly recommend ordering the cable from Cisco.
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building or
unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT
be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring.These interfaces are designed for
use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require
isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in
order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Warning
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intra-building cabling/wiring that
is grounded at both ends.
