Running the Cables
2-38 Wiring the System
Do not run cables inside or on top of air
CAUTION:
plenums or ducts, along hot pipes, or across walkways.
If you use staples to attach cords to walls or
baseboards, be careful not to pierce the cable. If there
are one or more In-Range Out-of-Building voice
terminals to be installed, be sure to use two IROB
protectors for each IROB voice terminal.
1 On the floor plan, assign a wiring run number
(1, 2, 3, etc.) to each voice terminal location.
2 Write the voice terminal location on each wiring run
label (for example,
3 Shop).
3 Attach the labels for wiring runs 1 through 6 to the
inside of the right door of the apparatus box labeled
1-6. The label for wiring run 1 goes at the top, and
the rest follow in order down to the label for wiring run
6 at the bottom.
4 Label the remaining boxes in the same way until there
is a label assigning a wiring run to each jack in the
jack field.
5 Use spooled cable or select a length (usually 100 or
200 feet) of cable long enough for wiring run number 1
as shown on the floor plan.
The recommended method is to use spooled
NOTE:
cable for the wiring runs and cutdown-to-
modjack adapters in the jack field. An
alternative is to use modular wall jacks to
connect two or more cables if you have voice
terminal locations beyond the reach of 200-
foot cables. In any case, a voice terminal
should not have a wiring run from the control
unit that exceeds 1000 feet.
