Installation manual

Video amplifiers and splitters should be mounted on
the right side of the SMC and their RG6 quad-shield ca-
bles brought in through the right side knockout at the
top. This allows for a straight drop for the cables with
virtually no bend to them.
✍
Take Note: The above cable routing patterns are recom-
mendations. The SMC panels are quite versatile and allow for
many different cable routing patterns based on installer pref-
erence and SMC customization.
Cable connections at the various modules, panels,
and devices in the SMC will follow the same principles
as corresponding connections at termination points at
wallplates. Minimum bend requirements must be met
to maintain the integrity of the cables, a minimum of
cable jacket removed, and clean wire contact made
with a punchdown/termination tool. Following these
standard procedures will help assure you of a proper-
ly working system.
9.3 Essential Infrastructure
Platform
Leviton’s Essential Infrastructure platform is the base
level for residential structured cabling. It addresses
standard telephone, cable TV, and data configurations.
This platform uses the series 280 Structured Media
Center for Single Family homes and the series 140 for
Multiple Dwelling Unit installations, plus the specific
panels and devices noted below.
9.3.1 Basic Telephone Connections Using the
Bridged Telephone Module
The Basic Home Networking Panel includes the
Bridged Telephone Distribution Module consisting of
ten bridged 110 D4 connectors mounted on a printed
circuit board. Dial tone sources can be terminated on
the first 110 connector and UTP cables routed to the
SMC from the wallplate locations can be terminated on
the other nine connectors. The dial tones present on
the first connector will be routed to the other nine out-
lets in the other rooms. If there are more than nine out-
lets, the last 110 connector can be used as a “bridge”
to jumper to the first connector of another 110 module.
