This cable connects the IFU to an indoor fiber patch panel. Breakout jackets provide strain relief. Each pair of fibers is connected together from the breakout jacket to within three inches of the connector. System Grounding and Surge ProtectionThe IFU grounding system has two conceptually distinct, but electrically interconnected functional subsystems, for connection to “earth ground.” The two functional subsystems are:Earth ground (complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for equipment grounding systems).Surge protection.Earth GroundThe IFU has an external electrical interconnection point for connecting the IFU ground subsystems to earth ground. Surge ProtectionThe sole purpose of surge protection is to transport lightning-related currents to the earth ground. During site installation, surge suppression devices are installed inline with the power and alarm conductors to assist in protecting equipment.
