Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Cabling Requirements
•For DC power cables, we recommend that you use commensurately rated,
These cables are not available from Cisco Systems. They are available from any commercial cable vendor.
•The color coding of the source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power source. Typically, green or green and yellow indicate that the cable is a ground cable. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, you must ensure that the power cables are connected to the
•You must terminate DC power cables by using insulated
•The circuit breaker is considered the disconnect device and should be easily accessible.
•You must protect the circuit by using a dedicated
Cabling Requirements
When running power and data cables together in overhead cable trays or subfloor cable trays, be aware of the following cautions:
Caution We strongly recommend that you locate the power cabling runs and other potential noise sources as far away as practical from LAN cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. If you cannot separate the long parallel cable runs by at least 3.3 feet (1 meter), we recommend that you shield these potential noise sources by housing them in grounded metallic conduits.
Caution The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. 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
