MASTERseries Quick Start Guide
2-Slot Chassis Installation
Ethernet Switch Cabling
If you attach cables to the Ethernet switch ports at the front of the FLEXmaster16 module, you must
install ferrite beads (part number 010-0051) on the cables to meet emissions requirements. Ferrite bead
guidelines are as follows:
z
Up to four Ethernet cables can be grouped together within two ferrite beads.
z
The NMS cable can be grouped with Ethernet cables (up to the limit of four cables within two
ferrite beads).
z
If the installation is limited to the backhaul Ethernet and/or the NMS cable, a single ferrite bead
with a loop can be used.
Note:
The ferrite bead should be 4 to 5 inches from the connectors.
Example:
If all of the Ethernet ports and the NMS port are cabled, four ferrite beads are required for
the seven cables, as shown below.
