Preventing electrostatic damage in new cable installations
With new cable installations, Nortel recommends to use ESD discharge cable to reduce the potential for damage from
static that can build up in cables. An example of such a cable is illustrated below.
Figure 1: ESD Cable example
Step - Action
1 Connect the ground lug on the ESD discharge cable to a safe and suitable
earth ground.
2 Briefly connect all RJ-45 cable connectors to the female RJ-45 connector of
the ESD discharge cable, and then connect each RJ-45 cable connector to
the switch.
3 Leave cables connected to the networking equipment. Once cables are
connected to networking equipment, the cables do not build up charge.
