4 Installation Preparation Steps
NOTE: Preparation for the installation of any equipment in a Telco facility is dictated by the
Telcordia Technologies GR-1275-CORE Central Office Environment Installation/Removal Generic
Requirements. It defines everything from the Method of Procedure (MOP) that Telco customers
require to the crimping methods that are acceptable to how to secure cables. For example, tie
wraps are not permitted, all cables must be tied in place using waxed string.
Checking General Safety
Before installing a cabinet or connecting input power cables, verify that:
•
No input power cables that are routed, installed, and connected are energized.
•
Wiring complies with local practices or local electrical safety codes that apply to the particular
installation site.
•
The -48V DC input power cables are insulated, stranded copper and are the appropriate size
for each type of cabinet or connection. There should be no more than a 1.0-V drop throughout
the combined length of the cables, from the installation site power source to the lugs that fasten
to the cabinets.
•
The ground cables are stranded copper and are the appropriate size for each type of cabinet.
•
The installation site safety grounding system used to connect the cabinets minimizes development
of electrical potential within and between cabinets, which could create a shock hazard from
lightning or fault currents.
