Information Outlet Locations
The customer or marketing representative must provide floor plans showing the information
outlet locations and types (flush- or surface-mounted) required. The floor plans must also show
a complete overview of all conduit and cabling facilities in the building.
Site, Satellite, and Adapter Locations
Use the following information when determining site, satellite, or adapter locations.
•
Keep the number of locations to a minimum.
•
To minimize the station wiring distances, centrally locate the sites/satellites, or adapters
among the information outlets.
•
Site/satellite locations must be easily accessible and contain AC-powered receptacles.
One 258A/BR2580A adapter is required for each 25-pair station cable containing 4-pair station
circuits. One 356A adapter is required for each 25-pair station cable containing 3-pair station
circuits. Hardware requirements are the same as for the equipment room.
Sizing 4-Pair Station Cables
Use the scale of the floor plan to determine the approximate length of the station cables required
per the standard SYSTIMAX wiring concepts.
Sizing 25-Pair and Multiple 25-Pair Station Cables
Use the scale of the floor plan to determine the approximate length of each 25-pair station cable.
The cables must be selected and properly sized to make maximum use of the hardware at the
equipment room or satellite location.
Use 25-pair B25A cables to connect adapters directly to the MDF or satellite location.
Staggered-finger cables, equipped with factory-installed 25-pair connectors at both ends, should
be used when multiple 25-pair cables are used between the equipment room or satellite location
and the adapters. B25A cables are required at the equipment room or satellite location to
connect the staggered-finger cables to the 110-type terminal blocks.
