Grounding the Media Converter
The SAPTF33xx-1xx single-slot chassis comes equipped with grounding lugs
located on the back panel. They require a grounding conductor wire
terminated with a
two-hole, compression-type, grounding connector
. The
grounding wire -- which must be a copper conductor -- is not included with
the chassis and
must be provided by the customer/installer
.
The electrical conducting path from the single-slot chassis must:
•
Flow via the grounding lugs to the common bonding network (CBN).
•
Be of sufficiently low impedance to conduct fault currents likely to be
imposed on the media converter, and
•
Enable proper operation of any over-current protection devices.
The conductor must be fastened to the grounding lugs with the enclosed anti-
rotation star-washers and lug-nut fasteners. The applied torque required to the
connector lug-nut fasteners is specified by the connector’s manufacturer.
To properly ground the SAPTF33xx-1xx single-slot chassis:
1.
Obtain one (1) grounding conductor (12 AWG copper wire gauge or
larger) with a two-hole, compression-type, grounding connector.
2.
Attach the grounding conductor to the converter by placing the two-hole
connector onto the grounding lugs and fasten with the enclosed lock-
washers / lug-nuts at the proper torque (per the manufacturer’s
specification).
3.
Attach the opposite end of the
grounding conductor to the
common bonding network
(CBN).
