Installing the Network Jack 9
3 Terminate the end of the network cable(s) with the connector(s) you purchased
separately.
Refer to the connector manufacturer’s instructions for terminating the cable. Be
sure to test end-to-end system functionality and verify that it is working.
4 Snap the connector(s) into the appropriate adapter plate.
Each adapter plate is labeled with the name of a connector’s manufacturer. Be
sure to use the adapter plate that matches the manufacturer of your connector(s).
5 Mount the plate to the Network Jack using the two adapter plate screws
provided.
Planning the Installation When installed, the back of the Network Jack extends into a wall or cubicle
opening 1.5 inches. Because the depth of some wall and cubicle openings differ,
observe the following requirements and recommendations before installing the
Network Jack:
• Make sure the wall or cubicle opening where the Network Jack is being
installed complies with the NEMA-WD6 standard, as described below.
• Make sure the distance between the back of the Network Jack and the inside
of the wall or cubicle opening is at least 1.5 inches (3 inches is recommended).
• To ensure proper horizontal cabling functionality, adhere to the following
network cabling standards during installation:
NOTE: Some cubicle openings have a depth of 1.2 inches. In this case, install
the Network Jack using the extension ring (available for purchase separately;
see “Obtaining Optional Components” on page 4) to obtain the minimum
1.5-inch depth.
If installing into a wall junction box, make sure there is enough space between
the back of the Network Jack and the inside of the junction box to maintain an
acceptable bend radius on the cable. If you encounter interference or need
additional clearance between the Network Jack and where it sits inside the
junction box, use the extension ring.
