Installation
1. Use the correct set of supplied screws on each of the four corners of the patch panel
and tighten them securely. If necessary, use a screwdriver to tighten each screw.
2. Prepare the cable by stripping about 2 inches (5.1 cm) of the cable jacket. Be careful
not to damage the twisted wire!
3. Next, punch down the cable. Place each wire pair next to the appropriate wiring color/
label. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for T568A and T568B color codes.
