Floor Loading Considerations
Ensure that the floor under the rack supporting the Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM is capable of supporting
the combined weight of the rack and all other installed equipment.
To assess the weight of the fully configured Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM respectively, refer to
For additional information about floor loading requirements, consult the document GR-63-CORE,
Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection.
Site Power Guidelines
The Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM has specific power and electrical wiring requirements. Adhering to these
requirements ensures reliable operation of the system. Follow these precautions and recommendations
when planning your site the Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM:

Caution
This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building
installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.
Note
The Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for
use with copper conductors only. The ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material
and preclude loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material.
Attachment of the chassis ground to a central office or other interior ground system must be made with
an AWG #6 gauge wire, copper ground conductor at a minimum.

Chassis height meets EIA-310 rack spacing 13RU, universal rack-mount
Chassis width meets EIA-310 19-inch wide with rack brackets
Rear RF cable-management bracket for Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM can hold 24 five coaxial
conductor bundled cables routed to the side of the chassis.
Optionally the chassis can be racked mid-mounted.
The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure that power to the
chassis continues uninterrupted if one power supply fails or input power on one line fails.
In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two DC PEMs to a
separate input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power
failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
To prevent a loss of input power, be sure the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the DC
PEM is within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
Check the power at your site before installation and periodically after installation to ensure that you
are receiving clean power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Provide proper grounding to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment due to lightning
striking power lines or due to power surges. The chassis ground must be attached to a central office
or other interior ground system.
The Cisco RFGW-10 should be connected to the DC main supplies, which are earthed within the
same building.
