DC Power Source Cabling and Cable Specifications for the MX240 Router
278
If you plan to operate a DC-powered router at less than the maximum configuration and
do not provision a 40 A (–48 VDC) circuit breaker, we recommend that you provision a
dedicated customer site circuit breaker for each DC power supply rated for at least 125%
of the continuous current that the system draws at –48 VDC.

CAUTION:
You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper
polarity. The power source cables might be labeled
their polarity. There is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The
color coding used by the external DC power source at your site determines
the color coding for the leads on the power cables that attach to the terminal
studs on each power supply.
