Preparing Cables
Required tools: Crimping tool for crimping lugs onto cables; heat gun
Nortel Networks does not supply the cables for connecting the Passport 8002PS DC Power Supply to
the DC input power source. You can therefore select cables that comply with the electrical code of the
country where you intend to use the DC power supply.
The following items are shipped with the Passport 8002PS DC Power Supply:
•
Two 2-hole crimp lug terminals with attached heat-shrink
tubing (1) for connecting the positive and negative power
inputs
1
2
•
One 1-hole crimp lug terminal with attached heat-shrink
tubing (2) for connecting the ground stud

•
•
Five lock washers for connecting all leads
One lock washer for connecting the ground stud
Caution: As the installer, you have the sole responsibility to ensure that the connection
cable used with the Passport 8002PS DC Power Supply is appropriate for use with the DC
power source to which the power supply is connected. Consider gauge, flammability, and
mechanical serviceability when determining which cables to use.
To select and prepare cables for connecting the power supply, use the following guidelines:
•
•
•
Use a 6-gauge, 3-conductor cable such as an SOW-A, Type 90C
or equivalent.
1
Use cable that accommodates the supplied DC input and frame
ground crimp lugs.

5
To connect to the positive and negative terminal leads, use the
two-hole lug terminals (1).

•
•
To connect the frame ground lead, use the one-hole terminal (2).

(3.8 cm)
Strip the outer cable jacket to no less than 1 1/2 inch (3.8 cm) to
expose the insulated conductor cables within.

2 = Frame Ground
3 = Negative (-)
4 = Positive (+)
5 = Outer Insulation Jacket
•
•
Strip the insulated conductor cables inside the outer jacket to
0.81 in (2.1 cm).
Use a standard crimping tool to crimp the lugs onto the cables.
Failure to properly crimp the lugs onto the cables constitutes a
safety hazard.
•
If necessary, use a heat gun to shrink the tubing around the cable.
