11 Routing Cables
11.4 Connecting the RFT-V RPS Power Cable
• Power off the central office (CO) RPS before connecting the RPS power cable, and power on the CO RPS
after cable connection.
• After the external copper cable is routed from the RPS into the cabinet, connect the ground cable to the
ground bar of the cabinet.
• After wiring, install the protective units and short-circuiting plugs on the exchange-side terminal blocks for
remote power supply (also called protective terminal blocks) and cable-side terminal blocks for remote power
supply (also called multiplexing terminal blocks). Otherwise, the cabinet cannot be powered on.
• The exchange-side terminal blocks and cable-side terminal blocks described in this section are specially used
for remote power supply.
