Installation manual

Install the twisted cable pairs following the color code
on the wires and the connectors. Use a wire punch-
down/termination tool to secure the ends of the wire to
the connectors following the same guidelines for un-
twisting and stripping the cable jacket as you did with
the Category 5 or 5e jacks.
Installer Tip: To gain a professional appearance on a
C 4 connector, install either the orange (#2) or green
(#3) wire first. This helps to center the cable.
Otherwise, if the blue pair is installed first and termi-
nated close to the cable, the brown pair will extend
further than the one-half inch from the jacket and
therefore be more exposed than the standard allows.
Remember, the more exposure, the greater the
chance for a substandard installation.
Note: The Leviton 4X4 Breakout Module, part number
47609-4x4, is used to allow the homeowner to access
all 4 lines at each jack. It is recommended that each
telephone Category 5 or 5e cable is terminated to a
Category 5 or 5e wall jack (568-A).
9.3.2 Category 5 Voice and Data Module
Use the Category 5 Voice and Data Module to termi-
nate Category 5 or 5e cable coming from your wallplate
data jacks. Follow the procedure outlined above for the
Bridged Telephone Module. Please see section 9.4.2
for data networking connections.
9.3.3 Coaxial Video Distribution Connections
Using Passive Splitter
Note: Video distribution is thoroughly covered in 9.4.3.
This section is an overview for the Essential
Infrastructure installations.
Leviton manufactures three (1X4, 1X6, and 1X8) Coaxial
Cable Distribution Modules that are used to route a sin-
gle RF, such as cable TV or off-air antenna signals, to 4,
6, or 8 televisions throughout a home. The modules are
installed in the SMC by lining up the mounting pins with
the grid holes and pressing in the pins. They can be in-
stalled both vertically and horizontally.
To attach the recommended RG6 quad-shield coaxial
cable to the splitter:
• Route your cables (they will come from wallplate lo-
cations in the house or from video sources such as an
antenna or cable TV feed) into the SMC
• Connectorize the end of each coax cable with a male
F-type connector (the connector must be compatible
with the type of coax cable being used)
• A video input goes to the center connector of the
splitter (labeled IN)
• Output cables that route the input signal to various
rooms of the house are attached to any connection
labeled OUT (there is no order)
• Cap any unused outputs with a 75-ohm terminator
