Position the equipment to avoid excessive tension on cables and connectors. Cables must be loose
with absolutely no stress on the connectors. Careful cable routing and securing the cables with tie
wraps (or other devices) is one way to provide this protection. Set up preventive maintenance loops.
Dress the cables neatly using cable ties. Do not tighten the cable ties until you are sure that the
required service length and bend radius requirements are met. Leave cable ties loose enough to
allow adjustment.
Verify that all cables are properly labeled to match System-specific configuration documentation
Motorola Solutions provided.
Ensure that cables do not exceed the minimum bend radius as outlined in the Motorola Solutions
Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites manual.
CAUTION: Use only Category 5 Shielded Twisted Pair (or higher) for cabling Ethernet
connections. Motorola Solutions has engineered this system to meet specific performance
requirements. Using other cabling and connectors may result in unpredictable system
performance or catastrophic failure.
NOTICE: For more information on cabling guidelines, see the documentation supplied with
components from each equipment manufacturer.

General Power Guidelines and Requirements
See the Motorola Solutions Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites manual for information
on providing electrical service, power budgeting, selecting batteries, and other topics for supplying
power at the site.
Perform electrical installation work in accordance with the current edition of the NFPA 70 and local
building codes. Where required, use a qualified and licensed electrician for all electrical installations.
3.3.8.1
General AC Power Guidelines and Requirements
The Motorola Solutions Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites manual defines the
guidelines and requirements for cabinets and racks which house equipment that requires AC power
input. Some of the guidelines and requirements are as follows:
The cabinet or rack is designed to accept 120/240 V, single-phase power with an amperage service
size as required by the electronic equipment.
Cabinets and racks powered by commercial power must be equipped with a Nationally Recognized
Test Laboratory (NRTL) certified power distribution module that contains a main circuit breaker or
individual circuit breakers of the correct size as required for the electronic equipment or as the
customer specified.
A decal showing an electrical schematic of the power wiring is affixed to the inside surface of the
cabinet.
All AC power equipment and electrical components must conform to National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and National Electrical Code (NEC). The AC power equipment
must also be listed by an NRTL.
A surge arrestor, designed to protect equipment systems from a 120/240 V service and load center,
is placed on the power feed ahead of all individual load center circuit breakers. This gapless
arrestor must be listed by an NRTL for the purpose intended.
Selection of a surge arrestor is based on the susceptibility of the equipment powered by the
electrical service, with margin provided for locally generated disturbances. See ANSI/IEEE C62.41
(21) for more details.
