Structured Wiring - Mitel 3000 Installation And Maintenance Manual

Structured Wiring

For technicians who are implementing standards-based, structured wiring in commercial or residential
applications the following applies: -
Commercial Installation
You will not have to change your base wiring if you are using Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable and implementing a 568
standard installation where the cable from the faceplate jack terminates in the closet to a patch panel.
It does not matter if you have used the 568A or 568B wiring scheme on the jacks and patch panels as long as
you have done the same wiring on each end of the cable.
Use the RJ12 (4-wire) patch cables (also referred to as four wire silver satin line cords) to connect from the
CCU or Ports Module.
The supplied cable from the Feature Phones will plug into the 8-pin, 8-wire jack (RJ45) you have installed in
the faceplate. However, Mitel does not recommend connecting the supplied phone cable to a RJ45 jack. This
could cause intermittent problems with the phones.
Install your structured wiring according to the 568 standards and patch the jacks you want to designate as
"phone" to the phone system.
Patch the jacks you want for data to the data switch (data patch cables will require 4-pair cables and 8-pin
plugs).
Residential Installation
You will not need to change any of the structured wiring for the residence if you are installing Cat 5e (or Cat
6) and implementing a 570 standard installation.
In the 570 standard, you will wire from the faceplate jack with Cat 5e cable.
The cable will be terminated at the faceplate jack with the 568A wiring scheme.
The cables within your structured wiring box will be terminated to the 8-pin jack module in your wiring box.
(Note: Some residential systems terminate to a modular plug, which is not in compliance with 570 standards.
If your system does this, you will need to supply modular Female-to-Female couplers).
From your CCU or Ports Module you will patch the cables identified as telephone with a RJ12 patch cable,
(also referred to as four wire silver satin line cords).
You will need to utilize the system manufacturer's adapter to plug into the demarc extension jack so you
have four separate jacks for CO lines.
You will need one patch cable RJ11 (2-wire) or RJ12 (4-wire) to connect the telephone (CO) lines to the
CCU or Ports Module.
The connection between the CO is done via a 2-wire connection, but will work with a 4-wire (RJ12) patch
cable.
