NEBS Requirements
This section describes the Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements for the PA-7050
firewall.
•
The device is intended to be installed in a Network Telecommunication Facilities (Central Office)
as part of a Common Bonding Network (CBN) or Isolated Bonding Network (IBN). Bare
conductors must be coated with an appropriate antioxidant compound before crimp connections are
made. All unplated connectors, braided strap, and buss bars must be brought to a bright finish and
then coated with an antioxidant before they are connected.
•
Fastening hardware must be compatible with the materials being joined and must preclude
loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of the hardware and the joined materials.
•
The device is suitable for connection to the Central Office (CO) or Customer Premise Equipment
(CPE).
•
The battery returns on the device must be connected as DC-I.
WARNING: The intra-building ports (12 RJ-45 Ethernet ports on each NPC, two HA
ports on the SMC, and the MGT port on the SMC) of the equipment or subassembly is
suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-
building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to
interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE,
Issue 6) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary
Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to
OSP wiring.
WARNING: The device must be connected to an external Special Protection
Device (SPD) when installed and connected to commercial AC power.
