NEBS Requirements
This section describes the Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements for the PA-5000
Series.
• The PA-5000 Series is intended to be installed in a Network Telecommunication Facilities (Central
Office) as part of a Common Bonding Network (CNB).
• The battery return (BR) input terminals are considered to be an Isolated DC return (DC-1).
• Bare conductors must be coated with an appropriate antioxidant compound before crimp
connections are made. All un-plated 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 shall be compatible with he materials being joined ad shall preclude loosening,
deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of the hardware and the joined materials.
WARNING: The intra-building ports of this equipment or subassembly is suitable for
connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports
of equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interface that connect
to the OSP or it’s wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces
only (Type 2 or 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, issue 5) 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. INtra-building
cabling must be shielded and grounded at both ends.
