Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines for EX Series Switches
Table37onpage94describesthefactorsyoumustconsiderwhileplanningtheelectrical
wiring at your site.
WARNING: It is particularly important to providea properly grounded and shielded
environment and to use electrical surge-suppression devices.
Table 37: Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines
GuidelinesSiteWiring Factor
Ifyour siteexperiencesanyof the followingproblems,consult
expertsin electrical surge suppressionand shielding:
•
Improperlyinstalledwirescauseradiofrequencyinterference
(RFI).
•
Damage from lightning strikes occurswhen wiresexceed
recommended distances or passbetweenbuildings.
•
Electromagneticpulses(EMPs) causedby lightning
damages unshieldedconductors and electronic devices.
Signaling limitations
Toreduceoreliminateradiofrequencyinterference(RFI)from
yoursite wiring, do the following:
•
Usetwisted-paircablewithagooddistributionofgrounding
conductors.
•
If youmust exceedthe recommendeddistances,use a
high-qualitytwisted-paircablewith one ground conductor
foreachdatasignal when applicable.
