GuidelinesSite Wiring Factor
If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC), particularly from lightning or radio
transmitters, you might want to seek expert advice.
Some of the problems caused by strong sources of
electromagnetic interference (EMI) are:
â–
Destruction of the signal drivers and receivers in the
switch.
â–
Electrical hazards as a result of power surges conducted
over the lines into the equipment.

AC Power, Connection, and Power Cord Specifications
Detachable AC power cords are supplied with the switch. The appliance coupler at
the female end of the cord inserts into the AC appliance inlet on the faceplate of the
AC power supply. The coupler is type C19 as described by International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug at the male end of the
power cord fits into the power source outlet that is standard for your geographical
location.
NOTE: In North America, AC power cords must not exceed 4.5 meters (approximately
14.75 feet) in length, to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) Sections 400-8
(NFPA 75, 5-2.2) and 210-52 and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 4-010(3).
The cords supplied with the switch are in compliance.
Table 29 on page 56 lists AC power cord specifications provided for each country or
region.
