Instructions / Assembly

Required Tools

For wire termination the following tools are required:

• Angle cutters (if using the provided Plastic 110 Termination Tool)

• Professional Impact Tool with 110 Cutting Blade

• Wire Cutters

• UTP Wire Stripping Tool

1) GETTING STARTED

Planning

Plan your cable routing carefully to determine which distribution panel will satisfy your

requirements. Determine the number of outlet locations required for phone, fax, modem,

and Ethernet and/or Gigabit Ethernet service.

Dene

Label each wire with its corresponding location or ID number. Use the provided Wiring

Identication Chart at the end of these instructions to map the placement of your wires in

the Panel, and for reference when lling out the wiring ID labels for the front of the Twist &

Mount Panel. The numbers on the termination side of the Twist & Mount correspond with

the jack position on the front of the Panel.

Organize

In the SMC, separate the voice wires from the data wires for ease of termination. Determine

how you will route your wires into the Panel for termination. You can bring your wires in

through the top or bottom of the Panel feeding the wires into the wire channels which will

hold them in place during termination and when twisting the panel for mounting. Generally

if conduit is used you will want to come in through the bottom of the panel to provide an

adequate service loop.

2) INSTALLATION

Twist & Mount Patch Panel

During cable termination the Twist & Mount Panel must be mounted with the 110 IDCs

facing out of the enclosure. Make sure the top of the panel is facing the top of the SMC.

Align the installation hooks with the grid holes on the back of the enclosure and slide the

Panel down so it hangs securely in the enclosure.
