bars separate from the 25-pair cables and fiber cables, and to allow

When you install Line Modules or Base Station Modules with the
Controller, you must use power bars for ac power distribution. There
are two types of power bars: the main power bar, which plugs

into a main power bar. You can connect only one expansion power
bar to a main power bar.
Use the following table to determine how many power bars you
need.
