Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) Statements

Warning
Always follow these electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention procedures when removing and replacing
modules:
• Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to the ground.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an
• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.

Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) Statements
NEBS describes the environment of a typical United States Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) central
office. NEBS is the most common set of safety, spatial, and environmental design standards applied to
telecommunications equipment in the United States. It is not a legal or regulatory requirement, but rather an
industry requirement.
The following NEBS statements apply to the Cisco Catalyst Edge uCPE 8300:

Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To guard
against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the anti-static strap. It should be
between 1 and 10 megaohms (Mohm).
Statement 7003—Shielded Cable Requirements for Intrabuilding Lightning Surge
The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intrabuilding cabling/wiring that
is grounded at both ends.
The following port(s) are considered intrabuilding ports on this equipment:
RJ-45 Copper Ethernet Port
Statement 7005—Intrabuilding Lightning Surge and AC Power Fault
The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces
that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding
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 to connect these interfaces
metallically to OSP wiring.
This statement applies to the intrabuilding ports listed below:
RJ-45 Copper Ethernet Port
