Extend The Network Interface To The Jack Field - AT&T MERLIN 1030 Installation Manual

EXTEND THE NETWORK INTERFACE TO THE JACK FIELD

You need the following to extend the network interface to the jack field:
4-Line adapters
Apparatus boxes
Green-on-white line labels and directories
Single-ended 25-pair connectorized cables
The drawings, right, show a 4-line adapter, an apparatus box, and a 25-pair con-
nectorized cable. You also need a jacket-stripping tool to slit the jacket on the
25-pair cable and a cable termination tool to punch down the wires onto the
blocks on the 4-line adapters. Your equipment supplier or technical consultant
can help you obtain these items.
The table, below, tells you how many adapters, apparatus boxes, and cables
you need based on the number of outside lines you have.

Telephone company installers do not normally connect more than 24 out-
*
side lines to one 50-pin connector. But if you have exactly 25 outside lines, the
phone company may connect all 25 lines to a single 50-pin connector. If you
have exactly 25 outside lines and you find a single 50-pin connector at the net-
work interface, you need only one 25-pair connectorized cable to extend the
network interface to the jack field.
