WARNING: It is particularly important to provide a properly grounded and
shielded environment and to use electrical surge-suppression devices.

Table 42: Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines

Site Wiring Factor Guidelines
Signaling limitations If your site experiences any of the following problems, consult experts in
electrical surge suppression and shielding:
Improperly installed wires cause radio frequency interference (RFI).
Damage from lightning strikes occurs when wires exceed recommended
distances or pass between buildings.
Electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) caused by lightning damage unshielded
conductors and electronic devices.
Radio frequency To reduce or eliminate radio frequency interference (RFI) from your site
interference wiring, do the following:
Use a twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding
conductors.
If you must exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality
twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal when
applicable.
Electromagnetic If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility
compatibility (EMC), particularly from lightning or radio transmitters, seek expert advice.
Some of the problems caused by strong sources of electromagnetic
interference (EMI) are:
Destruction of the signal drivers and receivers in the switch
Electrical hazards as a result of power surges conducted over the lines
into the equipment
