3.2.3.2 Connecting the Subscriber Lines to the STS
The STS supports two, 2-wire subscriber lines. Each subscriber line consists of a Tip wire and a Ring
wire. The subscriber line wires may be located on the drop cable that includes the DC power wires or on
a separate cable.
Requirements:
d Ensure that the STS fuse has been removed before making any wire connections to the STS.
E
To connect the subscriber lines to the STS
1. Connect the subscriber lines to the STS, as shown in Figure 3.9 on page 41.
2. Tighten the cable entry gland to lock the drop cable in place.
3. Wrap the drop cable connection first with vulcanized tape, then with electrical tape, to weatherproof
the connection. Make sure to wrap the connector in the clockwise direction to tighten the
connection.
d If only one cable entry gland is used to connect the DC power and service wires, ensure that the
second gland is sealed to weatherproof the STS. Failure to seal the second gland will void the
warranty.
