Installation
Procedure
1. Locate the proper wall space. The cross-connect field will
usually be to the right of the CU. Leave enough space
between the CU and the cross-connect field to allow for
system growth.
2. Attach the template to the wall or backboard with a staple
gun, tacks, or tape. Make sure that the upper edge of the
template outline is 70 inches above the floor and that the
template is parallel to the floor (see Figure 45).
3. Find the placement of the hardware on the template (see
Figure 46). The first and third columns on the template show
where the termination blocks go; the middle column shows
the place for the field-terminated blocks.
Keep the elements of a kit in the same-colored blocks. For
example, the termination blocks of kit #1 go in the green
section of column 1; the field-terminated block of kit #1 goes
in the green section of column 2.
4. Drill two diagonally opposite holes for each piece of
hardware. You can drill right through the template (see
Figure 47). There is a 1/16-inch space between the outline of
each piece of hardware; keep this space as you mount the
hardware.
5. Remove the template from the wall. Keep it in one piece so
you can check it for correct placement of the hardware.
6. Mount the wire troughs and termination blocks on
columns 1 and 3 as needed.
7.
Mount the field-terminated blocks on column 2 and terminate
the station cable. If the station cable is bottom feed, start at
the top and work down. If the station cable is top feed, start at
the bottom and work up. In either case, work on one field-
terminated block at a time.
a. Run the station cable underneath the field-terminated
block.
