Connecting Cables

This section describes how to connect the Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router to external
devices and networks. Follow the procedures in this section based on your network configuration and
requirements.
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
Caution
connect the RJ45, Management Ethernet, Alarm, and Console ports only to intra-building or unexposed
wiring or cable. The intra-building cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces
that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces
only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed
OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these
interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Caution To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the RJ45 ports to intra-cell site wiring or cable. The intra-cell site cable must be shielded and the
shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-cell site ports of the equipment or subassembly must not
be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed
for use as intra-cell site interfaces only (Type 3a or Type 5a ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and
require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient
protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
