The ports labeled Ethernet, Console, and Auxiliary (AUX) are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV
circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Caution
RSP/RP cables are not available from Cisco, but they are available from any commercial cable vendor.
Note
To comply with the intra-building lightning surge requirements of Telecordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue II,
