WARNING: The intra-building port (s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for
connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port (s)
of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089) and require
isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient
protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intra-building
cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends.
Operation
Make sure that the display devices that are permanently connected to the VGA interface
provide a fire enclosure according to the IEC/EN/UL/CSA 60950-1 requirements.
All other devices that are only connected to the VGA interface for service purposes need
