Table 18: Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines (continued)
GuidelinesSite Wiring Factor
To reduce or eliminate radio frequency interference (RFI) from your site wiring, do the following:
•
Use twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding conductors.
•
If you must exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with
one ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.
Radio frequency
interference
If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), particularly from
lightning or radio transmitters, seek expert advice.
Some of the problems caused by strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) are:
•
Destruction of the signal drivers and receivers in the switch
•
Electrical hazards as a result of power surges conducted over the lines into the equipment

Environmental Requirements and Specifications for EX Series Switches
The switch must be installed in a rack or cabinet housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated,
and temperature-controlled environment.
Ensure that these environmental guidelines are followed:
•
The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and
filters, reducing the efficiency of the switch cooling system.
