DANGER
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports 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 intra-building interfaces only (Type 2

OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect
these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
