For an isolated shield termination, the 1572A and 1592A outer jacket foil and drain
wire are removed a short distance back from the termination and electrical tape is used
to isolate the foil end.
Lightning protection
CommScope recommends including lightning protection in your ONECELL system
to isolate equipment from surge damage.
Important guidelines
• Verify hole diameter – blocking may need to remain outside the cover
• Maintain pair twists up to termination points
• Avoid having pairs crossing over each other
Indoor box
To protect the cables in an indoor installation from lightning damage, CommScope
recommends using the ITW Linx CAT6-A-LAN
protector.
NOTE
The gel filled outdoor cable types will still need blocking. See Cable splicing and
Cable termination for instructions on blocking cable.
