Step 2b – Copper Cable Installation
1. Strip the copper cordage per local practices for attachment to modular outlets and terminate to the modular
jacks.
2. Feed the terminated cordage and jacks through the back of the faceplate base and snap the individual
modules into the faceplate.
3. Attach the faceplate base to the base (which was previously installed on the outlet box) by fitting the hooks
on the bottom of the faceplate base into the catches on the base. Ensure the conductors are clear of the
faceplate base catches and latch before engaging. Pivot the faceplate base up and press in until the latch at
the top engages with the base catch.
4. Proceed to Step 3 on page 10 to install cover over faceplate and complete the installation.
Installation in Existing Construction (Retrofit)
Step 1 – Remove Existing Faceplate and Install Base
1. Unplug modular plugs form faceplate jacks.
2. Unscrew faceplate from wall outlet or framing.
3. Pull faceplate away from outlet box to provide sufficient slack for the next step.
Note:
It is assumed the fiber cable has been installed or will now be installed to this wall outlet.
4. Feed the faceplate and fiber cable through rear of base as shown above.
5. Attach base to wall box or frame using faceplate screws or 1-1/4 inch truss-head machine screws (provided).
