Information Outlet Locations
The customer or marketing representative must provide floor plans showing the information
outlet locations and types (flush- or surface-mounted) required. The floor plans must also show
a complete overview of all conduit and cabling facilities in the building.
Site, Satellite, and Adapter Locations
Use the following information when determining site, satellite, or adapter locations.
Keep the number of locations to a minimum.
•
• To minimize the station wiring distances, centrally locate the sites/satellites, or adapters
among the information outlets.
Site/satellite locations must be easily accessible and contain AC-powered receptacles.
•
One 258A/BR2580A adapter is required for each 25-pair station cable containing 4-pair station
circuits. One 356A adapter is required for each 25-pair station cable containing 3-pair station
circuits. Hardware requirements are the same as for the equipment room.
Sizing 4-Pair Station Cables
Use the scale of the floor plan to determine the approximate length of the station cables required
per the standard SYSTIMAX wiring concepts.
Sizing 25-Pair and Multiple 25-Pair Station Cables
Use the scale of the floor plan to determine the approximate length of each 25-pair station cable.
The cables must be selected and properly sized to make maximum use of the hardware at the
equipment room or satellite location.
Use 25-pair B25A cables to connect adapters directly to the MDF or satellite location.
Staggered-finger cables, equipped with factory-installed 25-pair connectors at both ends, should
be used when multiple 25-pair cables are used between the equipment room or satellite location
and the adapters. B25A cables are required at the equipment room or satellite location to
connect the staggered-finger cables to the 110-type terminal blocks.
