1.4.1 Important Safety Information

The safety information for the PoE Midspan unit is as follows:
  • Connect the PD-9601GS to PoE networks only, without routing to the outside plant
  • Only qualified personnel can install or remove the PD-9601GS
  • AC Power Cord Set:
    • The power cord must have regulatory agency approval for the specific country in which it is used (for example, UL, CSA, VDE, and so on)
    • The power cord must be a three-conductor type (two current-carrying conductors; one ground conductor) terminated on one end by an IEC 60320 appliance coupler (for connection to the PD-9601GS), and on the other end by a plug containing a ground (earthing) contact
    • The power cord must be rated for a minimum of 250 VAC RMS operation, with a minimum rated current capacity of 5A (or a minimum wire gauge of 18 AWG (0.75 mm2)
    Note:
    • The PD-9601GS DATA IN and DATA & POWER OUT ports are shielded RJ45 data sockets. They cannot be used as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) telephone sockets. Connect the RJ45 data connectors only to these sockets.
    • A PD-9601GS installed in Australia requires power cords with a minimum wire gauge of 16 AWG (1.0 mm2)
  • The AC wall socket-outlet must be near the PD-9601GS and easily accessible. You can remove AC power from the PD-9601GS by disconnecting the AC power cord from either the wall socket-outlet or the PD-9601GS appliance coupler.
  • The PD-9601GS DATA IN and DATA & POWER OUT interfaces are qualified as Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) circuits according to IEC 60950-1 or ES1 according to IEC 62368-1. Connect these interfaces only to SELV/ES1 interfaces on other equipment.
