Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines
This topic applies to hardware devices in the EX Series product family, which includes
switches, the EX Series Redundant Power System (RPS), and the XRE200 External
Routing Engine.
This topic also applies to hardware devices in the QFX Series.
Table 12 on page 33 describes the factors you must consider while planning the electrical
wiring at your site.
WARNING: It is particularly important to provide a properly grounded and
shielded environment and to use electrical surge-suppression devices.
Table 12: 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 damageunshielded
conductors and electronic devices.
Signaling limitations
To reduce or eliminate radio frequency interference (RFI) from your site
wiring, do the following:
•
Use a 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 conductorfor each data signal when
applicable.
