I am hearing mixed opinions of whether a DS3 Coax interface falls
under the scope of interfaces to be subjected to GR-1089 4.5.9 Intrabuilding
Lightning Surge. The way I interpret the standard is that it does fall
under the scope as there is no clear definition, that I could find, for
"Telecommunications Port". I've seen verbiage citing examples, but no clear
definition. This interface will not connect to outside plant and I do wish
to claim shielded cables with grounds at both ends to avoid the testing.
The scope of Section 4.6 clearly eliminates DS3 as part of that section.
The program team is against testing it and I would not like to see a
prospective customer reject the report. Any and all feedback and opinions
from the group (RBOC's especially) would be greatly appreciated.
Thx,
Joe
