4.3.2EMC

Warning: This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

4.3.2.1Installation of Cables

In order to ensure that the EMC performance of the products meet regulatory requirements:

Cables used for the PCM interface ports (T1/E1) shall be twisted-pair screened cables, grounded at both ends.

Cables used for the Ethernet interfaces shall be shielded cables, grounded at both ends.

Cables used for the SS7 serial interface ports (V.11), marked AUX, shall be shielded cables, grounded at both ends, and have the ferrite clamps, provided with the product, installed close to the connector backshell.

Cables used to connect a DC powered product to a DC source, and the safety ground conductor, when installed in locations other than telecommunications centres, shall be less than 3 metres long.

4.3.2.2Further Information

For further information on good EMC practice, the installer should consult the IEC61000-5-x series of technical reports on the subject of “Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Installation and Mitigation Guidelines”. In particular, the following sections are recommended:

IEC61000-5-1 - General Considerations

IEC61000-5-2 - Earthing and Cabling

IEC61000-5-6 - Mitigation of External EM Influences

4.3.3Telecommunications

The telecommunication interfaces of these products are not intended for direct connection to “outside plant” signal conductors (metallic). These products shall be isolated, by channel banks or office repeaters, from any connections to network or terminal equipment, that lie outside of the same building. The telecommunication interface connections are considered to be, and meet the requirements of, SELV circuits (not TNV). Refer also to any region specific information on network connection (see Section 4.2.3, “FCC Part 68 Statement - USA” on page 26, Section 4.2.4, “Telecommunications Attachment Notice - Canada” on page 27,
