Reference Warning, requirement, or statement
Intrabuilding or Intra-
connection
WARNING: The intra-building copper Ethernet ports of the equipment or subassembly
are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The
intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically
connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (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.
