Shielded patch panels are designed to protect the
internal electronic components from electromagnetic
interference (EMI).
1. Using the screws, mount the patch panel onto
the rack. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Plug a connector (from the trunk cable) into
each MRJ21 receptacle (at the back of the patch
panel). Refer to Figure 2. Make sure to align the
keying features of the connector and receptacle.
Ensure that the connector is fully seated,
then
using a small cross–recessed tipped screwdriver,
turn the jack screws of the connector
clockwise
and tighten to a maximum torque of 0.23 Nm
[2 lbf–in.].
3. For AMPTRAC patch panels, plug the connector
of an I/O cable assembly (PN 1499507–[ ]) from
the analyzer into each HDP–22 connector (at the
back of the patch panel). See Figure 2.
4. Install the retro–fit kit onto the rack according to
Instruction Sheet 408–10170. Using cable ties or
similar fasteners, attach the cables to the tie–down
bar. It is recommended to maintain a minimum
bend radius of 50.8 mm [2 in.] when securing and
routing cables. See Figure 2.
For port–to–cable pair cross–reference, refer to
Figure 3.
