1. OVERVIEW
The Service Interface Protection Panel (SIPP), Model
SIPP-1800, is a modular and easy to configure interface
that protects network transmission equipment exposed to
outside plant facilities. Advanced technology in the SIPP
provides greater protection to network equipment than
conventional methods. Applications include central
offices, CEVs, and outside plant cabinets - wherever
protection from lightningsurges and AC power faults is
needed.
The base SIPP-1800 model is an 18-slot chassis that
accepts plug-in modules to terminate and protect dry-loop
Ethernet, T1/E1, or DS3 services. A fiber interface
module (without protection) is also available, allowing all
high-speed services to be groomed through a single
access panel. A choice of connector configurations
provides added flexibilityand utility. The SIPP can be
installed in arelay rack or cabinet, or wall mounted.

2. APPLICATION
Multiplexers, switches and other network elements that
are connected to outside plant facilities require protection
from excess voltage or current that could cause damage
to equipment or injure personnel.
A common method is to install voltage-limiting primary
protectors on network ports and a separate service panel
for connection to outdoor facilities. The shortcomings of
this approach are: 1) voltage limiting alone may not
adequatelyprotect some types of network equipment,
2) wiring to separate protector blocks and service panels
is space consuming and cumbersome, and 3)many
applications require fuse links to prevent risk of fire,
shock, or potential damage to the service panel.
The SIPP resolves these issues by combining service
panel convenience with advanced protection of personnel
and equipment (seeFigure 2). The integrated solution
meetsrigorous telecom network standards, simplifies
wiring, and saves valuable space.
