Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) Statements
NEBS describes the environment of a typical United States Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) central office. NEBS is the most common set of safety, spatial, and environmental design standards applied to telecommunications equipment in the United States. It is not a legal or regulatory requirement, but rather an industry requirement.
The following NEBS statements apply to the Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches:
Warning |
Statement 7003—Shielded Cable Shielded Cable Requirements for Intrabuilding Lightning Surge The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intrabuilding cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends. The following port(s) are considered intrabuilding ports on this equipment: RJ45 copper Ethernet Ports |
Note |
Statement 7004—Special Accessories Required to Comply with GR-1089 Emission and Immunity Requirements To comply with the emission and immunity requirements of GR-1089, shielded cables are required for the following ports: Ethernet Ports |
Warning |
Statement 7005—Intrabuilding Lightning Surge and AC Power Fault The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring. This statement applies to the intrabuilding ports listed below: RJ45 copper Ethernet Ports |
