The shield of the coaxial cable must be connected to earth (grounded) at the
entrance to the building in accordance with applicable national electrical
installation codes. In the U.S., this is required by NFPA 70 (National Electri-
cal Code) Article 820. In the European Union and certain other countries,
CATV installation equipotential bonding requirements are specified in IEC
60728-11, Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interac-
tive services, Part 11: Safety. This equipment is intended to be installed in
accordance with the requirements of IEC 60728-11 for safe operation.
If the equipment is to be installed in an area serviced by an IT power line net-
work, as is found in many areas of Norway, special attention should be given
that the installation is in accordance with IEC 60728-11, in particular Annex
B and Figure B.4.
In areas of high surge events or poor grounding situations and areas prone to
lightning strikes, additional surge protection may be required (i.e.
PF11VNT3 from American Power Conversion) on the AC, RF, Ethernet and
Phone lines.
When the Telephony Modem is connected to a local computer through an
Ethernet cable, the computer must be properly grounded to the building/resi-
dence AC ground network. All plug in cards within the computer must be
properly installed and grounded to the computer frame per the manufac-
turer’s specifications.
