Hub Installation
In Hub Systems, the AVH21 A/V Hubs and WPS Power Supply Hubs are always used in pairs.
(One each AVH21 and WPS21.) The recommended positioning for these pairs is side by side.
When using one pair of hubs, this positioning is not necessarily critical, however when using
multiple sets, wire management and connections between hubs will be much neater and easier
by positioning the hubs side by side.
The AVH21 A/V Hubs and WPS Power Supply Hubs can be mounted in three ways.
1.
Shelf Mount. The Hubs can lay flat on a shelf when appropriate in a given installation.
Though the hubs typically run cool, adequate space should always be provided for air flow.
Never place any object on top of a hub when shelf mounted. Utilize the space created by
the mounting flange for running wires underneath the hubs when appropriate.
2. Wall Mount. The hubs can be mounted on an equipment cabinet or wall surface. Drill small
starter holes using the hub mounting screw holes for alignment. Sink mounting screws into
wall studs when possible or mount a sheet of plywood slightly larger than the area required
for the hubs to the wall surface to assure firm attachment. Leave several inches vertically
(up and down) between hubs for pulling wires and making connections. Utilize the space
created by the mounting flange for running wires underneath the hubs when appropriate.
3. Panel Mount. The mounting screw holes on the AVH21 and WPS21 Hub flanges are
configured for use with two brands of popular structured wiring panels: the Channel Vision
C-0128E and Leviton Cat: 47605-28W. (These specific models will each accept 3 hubs.)
Hubs can mount to either hole pattern using standard nuts and bolts or the supplied
locking-pins.
