7.7.1 Preparing the PIDU Plus To ODU Cable
The maximum cable length between the ODU and the user’s Network Equipment is 100m
(330 ft). Cable lengths up to 300m (984 ft) can be used where the PIDU Plus to ODU cable is
supplying power only, that is, when using the PTP 600 Series Bridge Optical Interface.
WARNING: The copper screen of the recommended Superior Essex cable is very sharp and
may cause personal injury. When preparing this cable, take the following precautions:
ALWAYS wear cut resistant gloves (check the label to ensure they are cut resistant).
ALWAYS wear protective eyewear.
ALWAYS use a rotary blade tool to strip the cable (DO NOT use a bladed knife). To use
the rotary blade tool, fit it around the outer cable sheaf and rotate the cutter around the
cable once or twice. The stripped outer section can then be removed.
