Technical Document: Power Separation Guidelines for ...

SYSTIMAX SOLUTIONS Power Separation Guidelines for SYSTIMAX Installations July 20202 SYSTIMAX Solutions Power Separation Guidelines for SYSTIMAX General These Guidelines are based on extensive testing and modeling performed by CommScope Labs and by standards committees (especially by TIA in the US). The Guidelines outline the minimum requirements for registration of SYSTIMAX installations for the 25-Year Extended Product Warranty and Applications Assurance Program. The exception is for installations with SYSTIMAX x297/x298 cables where the Guidelines outline in Section shall apply. Unless otherwise stated, the Power cables are assumed to be local or national safety regulations take precedence whenever their required Separation distances are larger than those specified in this document. For example: In the UK, if no mechanical divider is present between the data and Power cables, BS 6701 requires a minimum Separation distance of 50 mm (2 in) for voltages less than 600 In the USA, Article of NEC Ed 2002 states the following for Class 1 circuits: Communications wires and cables shall be separated at least 50 mm (2 in) from conductors of any electric light, Power , Class 1, non- Power -limited fire alarm, or medium Power network-powered broadband communications circuits.

If multi-channel plastic raceways (i.e. compartmentized plastic trunking) are used, the power cables should be installed in the bottom compartment and the data cables in the top or vice versa (as per IEC/EN 60364-5-52 guidelines). If loose (individual) power conductors are used, they must be bunched or maintained close together within the trunking.
