Installing 6pak Adapter Plates and Pigtails

Wall-mount boxes with a termination function have mounting slots for 6pak adapter plates. The 
6pak adapter plates may be any of several types including:

• Simplex or duplex with adapters only

• Blank plates for filling in unused slots

• Simplex or duplex with adapters and attached pigtails

Use the following procedure to install adapter plates.

1. If the 6pak plate has attached pigtails, thread the pigtails through the empty mounting slot 

and loop the pigtails around the radius limiters in the chassis, as shown in 

Figure 13

 below.
