SFAA – WBA Product Catalogue – Facilities Access Service Product Technical Specification release 3.0 – 21 December 2012 18
4.2.3.4 DC Distribution unit
Customer is responsible for providing its own DC cabling between the DCD and Customer Active Equipment.
DC and earthing cabling provided by Customer must comply with AS/NZS 3015:2004 and as such, the cable sheath colours must be provided as follows:
Positive (Also called 0V, return or Positive earth) is red in colour
Negative (Also called -48V or active) is blue in colour
Earth is green/yellow in colour
Customer side DC cabling must be of a dimension, at, or between 2.5mm and 25mm cross sectional area and may be terminated to each individual circuit breaker output lug. Customer must ensure that the circuit breaker output terminal cable lug nuts are not exposed to torque exceeding 4.5 Newton metres.
When populated with approved circuit breakers, the DCD provides for circuit breaker trip alarm output via a voltage free relay. Customer may connect to the relay base for the purpose of monitoring circuit breaker trip alarms. Upon circuit breaker trip, all relay contacts transition simultaneously. Figure 8 below shows the mapping of the contact outputs on the relay base.
Figure 8: Relay base output.
The voltage free dry contact relay is rated to 60V, 0.5A.
The DCD provides LED indicators on the front panel. The green LED represents that DC power is present and there are no circuit breakers in a tripped state. The red LED represents that DC power is active, but a circuit breaker has tripped and is in the OFF position.
Other than for the purposes of connecting Customer side DC cabling and alarm output cabling, Customer must not tamper with, modify, move or remove the DCD, DCD power supply feed cabling, or power monitoring system.
4.2.3.5 Diverse feeds / redundancy

4.4 Building Entry Service
The Building Entry Service operates in conjunction with other types of the Facilities Access Service, namely NBN Co ODF Termination Point and Cross Connects. Accordingly, in order for Customer to install and interconnect its lead-in or backhaul transmission cable to an NNI in respect of a POI in a Type 1 Facility, Customer needs to acquire the Building Entry Service, NBN Co ODF Termination Point and a Cross Connect, as illustrated in Figure 10 below.
Figure 10: Building Entry Service
Note that Customer’s lead-in or backhaul transmission cables entering an NBN Co Type 1 facility using the Building Entry Service must be presented by Customer at the NBN Co internal cable chamber. The hand-off point depicted in Figure 10 between the Building Entry Service and the NBN Co ODF Termination Point service indicates the point where Customer is responsible for presenting Customer’s lead-in or backhaul transmission cables as installed using the Building Entry Service, in a manner that can be further carried through to an NBN Co ODF by NBN Co, for the purposes of connection to the NBN Co ODF Termination Point.
Customer is responsible for ordering the NBN Co ODF Termination Point service as required, for the installation by NBN Co of Customer’s lead-in or backhaul transmission cables (introduced using the Building Entry Service) from the NBN Co internal cable chamber through to the NBN Co ODFs.
4.4.1 Usage Scenarios
After Customer’s lead-in or backhaul transmission cables are installed between the NBN Co internal cable chamber and the NBN Co ODF and connected by NBN Co to the NBN Co ODF (supplied by NBN Co as part of NBN Co ODF Termination Point), Customer’s lead-in or backhaul transmission cables can then be connected to other appearances on the NBN Co ODF, including the appearance of an NNI or NBN Co Co-location, by using Cross Connects supplied by NBN Co.
SFAA – WBA Product Catalogue – Facilities Access Service Product Technical Specification release 3.0 – 21 December 2012 26
The appearance of Customer’s lead-in or backhaul transmission cable on the NBN Co ODF (supplied by NBN Co as part of NBN Co ODF Termination Point) can then be connected to the NNI (utilising Cross Connects supplied by NBN Co), thereby allowing Customer to carry traffic to and from End Users (utilising CVCs, AVCs and UNIs supplied by NBN Co as part of NFAS or NWAS, as applicable).
By way of example only, the following scenarios illustrate how the Building Entry Service can be used by Customer in conjunction with other types of the Facilities Access Service and other Products supplied by NBN Co under the WBA to supply services to End Users:
a. by acquiring a Cross Connect between the appearance of Customer’s lead-in or backhaul transmission
cable on the NBN Co ODF and the appearance of the NNI on the NBN Co ODF, Customer can supply
services to End Users utilising CVCs, AVCs and UNIs supplied by NBN Co as part of NFAS or NWAS, as
applicable:
Figure 11: Use of Building Entry Services for delivery of services to End Users
b. by acquiring a Cross Connect between the appearance of Customer’s lead-in or backhaul transmission
cable on an NBN Co ODF and the appearance of NBN Co Co-location on an NBN Co ODF, Customer can
establish a connection to Customer Active Equipment that is installed in equipment racks made
available by NBN Co as part of NBN Co Co-location.
