6.3 Shelf grounding connection
This section provides the 7360 ISAM FX-16 shelf grounding cable types, cable 
routing, and connection information.
Observe the following safety notes.
6.3.1 Grounding cable type
As shown in Figure 35, the 7360 ISAM FX-16 includes two grounding cable 
connectors. Each ground lug is a 4 AWG, 1/4 in. stud with 1 in. hole spacing, single 
crimp, peep, copper, UL and CSA recognized dual-hole lug. The preferred cable is 
4 AWG, green with a yellow stripe. Other types and sizes of wire and lugs can also 
be used provided they meet the requirements of Article 250 of the NEC.
Caution —  Risk of EMC disturbance when MDF cables are not 
shielded.
When MDF cables have no or insufficient shielding, the xDSL 
and POTS signals carried could suffer from EMC disturbance, 
certainly when mixing different xDSL signal types (for example, 
xDSL over POTS with xDSL).
To comply with EMC, observe the following:
• Apply shielded LINE and POTS cables between the MDF 
and the 7356 ISAM FTTB (Nokia always provides shielded 
cables).
• Connect, if possible, the shielding of each MDF cable to 
ground at MDF end.
Danger 1 —  Rack or frame must be suitably connected to the 
office grounding network in accordance with Article 250 of the 
national electrical code (NEC) to ensure UL and CSA 
compliance. If outside the United States, ground per local 
electrical codes and practices. 
Danger 2 —  Possible risk of personal injury or damage to 
equipment due to inaccurate or faulty ground cabling.
Inaccurate grounding connection can cause electric shock or 
equipment damage when the rack power is switched on.
