Step 6: Install the Coupled Bonding Conductor

Connecting an external router to the G350

You can connect a router to any of the following ports on the G350:

•the ETH WAN port on the G350 front panel.

•the ETH LAN port on the G350 front panel.

•the Gigabit Ethernet port on an MM314 media module.

•one of the 24 10/100 Ethernet ports on an MM314 media module.

Step 6: Install the Coupled Bonding Conductor

The Coupled Bonding Conductor (CBC) provides mutual inductance coupling between the CBC and the telephone cables that are exposed to lightning. The conductor can be a 10 AWG (4 mm2) wire tie wrapped to the exposed cables, a metal cable shield around the exposed cables, or six spare pairs from the exposed cable. In a high-rise building, connect the CBC to an approved building ground on each floor.

Before you begin, be sure the telephone lines are cross-connected to the appropriate media module(s).

To install the CBC

1Connect one end of the conductor to a telephone cable building entrance protector ground that is connected to an approved ground.

2Route the rest of the conductor next to the exposed telephone cables being protected until they reach the cross-connect nearest to the telephone system.

3Terminate the other end to the single-point ground block provided for the telephone system.

NOTE:

Position the non-exposed telephone cables at least 12 in. (30.5 cm) away from exposed telephone cables whenever possible.
