Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) Statements

NEBS describes the environment of a typical United States Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) central
office. NEBS is the most common set of safety, spatial, and environmental design standards applied to
telecommunications equipment in the United States. It is not a legal or regulatory requirement, but rather an
industry requirement.

Statement 7001 ESD Mitigation
This equipment may be ESD sensitive. Always use an ESD ankle or wrist strap before handling equipment.
Connect the equipment end of the ESD strap to an unfinished surface of the equipment chassis or to the ESD
jack on the equipment if provided.
Statement 7003 Shielded Cable Requirements for Intrabuilding Lightning Surge
The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intrabuilding cabling/wiring that
is grounded at both ends.
The following port(s) are considered intrabuilding ports on this equipment:
The copper RJ45 Ethernet Ports.
Statement 7005—Intrabuilding Lightning Surge and AC Power Fault
The intrabuilding 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 intrabuilding
interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed
OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces
metallically to OSP wiring.
This statement applies to the intrabuilding ports listed below:
The copper RJ45 Ethernet Ports.
Statement 7008 Equipment Using Agreed Primary Protection
This product is intended to be protected by a surge protector that meets the applicable criteria of GR-974-CORE
or GR-1361-CORE. Failure to use this appropriate surge protector could result in susceptibility to lightning
surges or create a potential hazard due to power faults.
Statement 7011 Surge Protection Device Requirements for GR-1089 Antenna Ports
Protect equipment antenna ports, that are classified as Type 6 according to GR-1089-CORE, with lightning
surge protectors that are rated at a minimum of 600 V peak surge of 1.2/50 uS duration.
