Installation manual

• Category 5 Voice and Data Module whose six
Category 5 or 5e ports allow for basic home network-
ing (data, phone, fax or modem) and can be con-
nected to a Telephone Distribution Module, key sys-
tem, or network hub
• 1X6 Video Splitter that is suitable for both cable TV
and off-air antenna signals
✍
Take Note: Both the Bridged Telephone Module and the
Category 5 Voice and Data Module are available as stand-
alone units and can be used for expansion or special applica-
tions, when properly mounted and installed.
Installer’s Tip: Leviton’s Pre-Configured Structured
Cabling Panels combine the most popular distribution
modules into single units that will suit the needs of
many of your customers. These panels can always be
replaced or supplemented with individual modules if a
customer’s needs change in the future.
Each metal SMC comes with pre-drilled holes spaced to
accept the snap-in plastic connectors mounted on
Leviton’s modules and Pre-Configured Structured
Cabling Panels.
6.1.1 Series 280 SMC
The Series 280 is
designed for expand-
ed installations. Using
the SMC 280 in an
Essential infrastructure
installation ensures
“room to grow”.
Remember, the main
difference among the
different SMC’s is the
size of the enclosure
and AC power options.
The Series 280’s twen-
ty-eight inch length
gives it abundant room
for up to eight individ-
ual distribution mod-
ules (sizes and density
of the modules will
vary). This means you
can use a single distri-
bution center for all the
latest technology such as home networking, security
cameras, and multi-location stereo. The panel features
multiple knock-outs throughout for ease of cable rout-
ing. The Series 280 is designed to accommodate
Leviton’s hospital-grade AC Power Module with power
surge suppression for all internal electronic modules
connected to it.
Installer’s Tip: In addition to its AC Power Module,
Leviton also offers a DC Power Supply Module that
supplies DC power to multiple modules within an
SMC. Each DC component is wired to the module’s
outputs and the module itself plugs into a standard
120VAC outlet. This eliminates the need for multiple,
individual power supplies within the SMC.
Details
• Large capacity can service more intricately wired
homes
• Accommodates 1/4, 1/2, and full-width expansion
modules and both horizontal and vertical placement
for most modules
• The SMC is constructed with white, powder-coated
18-gauge steel whose cover features a 3/4” overlap
to hide irregular drywall openings
Dimensions
• Enclosure: 28”h X 14.38w X 3.60”d
• Cover: 30”h X 16.0” w
For a three-bedroom, single-family home with an SMC
280, Leviton suggests the following components to
meet most homeowners’ structured cable needs:
• Coax surge protector
• AC Power Module
• Basic Home Networking Unit consisting of a 1X9
Bridged Telephone Module, a single Cat-5
Voice/Data Module, and a 1X6 Video Splitter with
terminators
This system will handle a maximum of nine telephone
locations, six locations for data networking, and six
video locations. You can expand the system to more
telephone, data networking, and video locations by
adding more modules.
6.2 Essential Infrastructure
Platform for a Multiple
Dwelling Unit
Along with single-family homes, structured cabling is
regularly installed in new apartments and condomini-
ums as well as retrofitted into remodeled older build-
ings. With less square footage and typically fewer
inhabitants than a single-family home, a normal-sized
MDU (multi dwelling unit) won’t require a large SMC for
its Essential Infrastructure platform. Leviton’s 100 and
140 series SMCs will more than handle jobs this size.
