Juniper EX3300 Series

WARNING: It is particularly important to provide a properly grounded and
shielded environment and to use electrical surge-suppression devices.
Table 20: Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines
GuidelinesSite Wiring Factor
If your site experiences any of the following problems, consult experts in electrical surge
suppression and shielding:
•
Improperly installed wires cause radio frequency interference (RFI).
•
Damage from lightning strikes occurs when wires exceed recommended distances or pass
between buildings.
•
Electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) caused by lightning damages unshielded conductors and
electronic devices.
Signaling limitations
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
