8.3.8 Grounding the SMC
A grounding lug can be found at the bottom of the
SMC. An appropriate ground wire should be secured
between the grounding lug and an earth ground point,
such as a grounding rod or a grounded metallic water
pipe. Insert the ground wire into the lug and tighten
with a screwdriver. A minimum No. 10, solid conductor,
bare copper wire is recommended to ground the unit.
8.4 Structured Cabling
(Pre-Wire)
A Category 5 or 5e compliant installation involves more
than simply the use of Category 5 or 5e cable. For full
compliance, jacks and cable must meet EIA/TIA 568-A
electrical and mechanical specifications and transmis-
sion requirements. A Category compliant installation
will minimize the attenuation, near-end crosstalk
(NEXT), return loss and signal-degrading factors that
can greatly affect a system’s transmission ability.
Category compliance can be altered by the method of
installation. Improper cable routing and support, as
well as kinking, stretching, and crimping all negatively
affect the cabling performance. Proper cable installa-
tion is critical to system integrity.
