Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.
Introduction 1.5.3 Supported Fiber Optic Cables Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise environments: • Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, preferably 3 m (10 ft) in length. Copper data cables should not be used for inter-building communications.
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized personnel shall render all warranties null and void. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens Canada Ltd. could invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
