This method preserves electrical redundancy from the PDF to the PFUs.

Power Cable Requirements
Sizing Power Cables
The following guidelines should be adhered to when sizing cable gauges for connecting the PFUs to a
rack-mounted power distribution panel.
•
Each conductor between the PDF and PDP should be calculated assuming a 0.3 volt drop from the PDF
to the panel.
•
Each cable between the PDP and ASR 5500 PFUs should be calculated a 0.3 volt drop from the panel
to the chassis. This is a total voltage drop of 0.6 volts.
•
Use high-flex, multiple-strand cable (minimum 4 AWG) between the power distribution panel and the
chassis.
