GR-1089-CORE Issue 6 Documentation Statements

Warning

The Ethernet ports of the equipment and its sub-assemblies are suitable only for intra-building connections (within the same building) or for connections to unexposed wiring or cabling. (See the conditions listed above.) The Ethernet ports of this equipment or its sub-assemblies must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. Ethernet interfaces are designed for use only as intra-building interfaces (described as Type 2 or Type 4 ports in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6) and require isolation from the exposed OSP wiring. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSPwiring. This warning does not apply to T1/E1 ports because T1/E1 ports have built-in isolation and surge protection that allows them to be connected to OSP wiring.

Warning

The E4G series router does not require shielded LAN or WAN cables for compliance with EMC or safety requirements.

For compliance with NEBS GR-1089 Issue 6, however, shielded cables may be required, depending on your application. When shielded cables are required, ports shall be grounded at both ends of the cable.
