Electric Connection Checklist

Table 11-3 describes the electric connection checklist of the cabinet.
Table 11-3 Electric connection checklist of the cabinet

1 All self-made PGND cables are copper-based with the proper wire diameters. No
breaking device such as switch and fuse is allowed for the electric connection of
the grounding system. No short circuit is allowed. Each terminal on the grounding
bar can be connected with only one wiring terminal of the PGND cable.
2 The redundant part of the power cable or PGND cable is stripped off rather than
coiled.
3 The lugs at both ends of the power cable or PGND cable are securely soldered or
crimped.
4 The bare wires and the terminal handles at the wiring terminals are coated with
heat-shrinkable tubes.
5 The flat washer and the spring washer are well mounted on all OT terminals.
6 All cables are connected securely and reliably. Pay special attention to the cable
connections at the bottom of the cabinet.
7 The cables are neatly and tightly bound. The cable ties are evenly spaced and face
the same direction.
8 The power cable, PGND cable, feeder, optical cable and the E1/T1/FE signal cable
are bound separately with a spacing of larger than 30 mm.
9 The cable layout facilitates maintenance and future capacity expansion. And the
bending radius of the cables meet the requirements.
10 All the labels at both ends of the cables are legible.
11 The extra length of each indoor cable tie is cut, and the cut surface is smooth
without sharp edges. An extra length of 3 mm to 5 mm is resereved for each
outdoor cable tie.
12 The idle connectors of the cables are properly protected.
13 The connectors of the RF cables are fixed in position to avoid false connection
that may cause an abnormal voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).
