WARNING – Important Safety Instructions
When using this product, the following basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:
1. Never install communications wiring in wet locations unless it is designed for wet locations.
2. Never install this product during a lightning storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock.
3. Never touch uninsulated communication wiring or terminals unless the communication circuit has been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Caution: All wiring that connects to this equipment must meet applicable local and national building codes and network wiring standards for communication cable.
Step 1 – Mount Panel to Rack
Single Panel Mounting Multiple Panel Mounting
1. Mount panel(s) to rack or cabinet using the four mounting screws provided.

Step 2 – Module Termination
www.commscope.com
T568 Wiring Diagram Termination Manager
Note: Each module has a T568B wiring designation label placed along the IDC connector strip. If T568A wiring is desired, place the "A" type label over the existing "B" type label.
1. Terminate conductors on the IDC terminals per the wiring diagram shown above and utilizing the provided termination managers.
2. See pages 10 and 11 for correct procedure on using the termination managers.
Unwind separator tape
Pull off to the side so that it can be trimmed close to the jacket
Pull flute and tapes off to one or more sides
Note: If SYSTIMAX X1OD 91B cable is being used, separate the flute and conductor separation tape, pull back to jacket and cut as shown above. See instruction sheet 860469402 for additional details.

Rear Termination Procedure
860467737
Issue 3, January 2013
Note: Do not remove modules from panel openings.
1. Establish proper lengths of cables to the modules so they can be positioned in the rear cable troughs after installation in Step 3 and mark the jacket ring points.
2. Prepare cables and the termination managers per the instructions on page 4 and punch down to module using the punch-down tool with M110 blade on HI setting.
3. After the modules are terminated, proceed to Step 3.
Front Termination Procedure
Module rotated 180° and reinstalled into adjacent panel opening for termination
Module will slide to either side
Module in original front facing position
Module release tabs

Instruction Sheet

Module installed in this panel opening after termination
Module Termination in Multiple Panel Mounting
1. Preinstall rear cable manager as outlined in Step 3 and loosely secure the tie wraps so that cables can be pulled out and pushed in during front termination.
2. Depress four tabs on a 6-pack module (two tabs on a 12-pack module) and remove module from panel opening and rotate 180º so that rear of module is facing forward. Temporarily snap module backwards into an adjacent empty panel opening for terminating as shown on previous figures.
Note: It is necessary to temporarily remove modules from opposite panel opening of module being terminated to facilitate the front cabling procedure. If adjacent module is already terminated, pull module out and push cables to one side to allow space to temporarily install module being terminated into opening. (See page 9.)
3. Pull an adequate length of cables through panel opening for the terminated module and mark the jacket ring points. Verify that the cables can be pushed back into final position without interference or snagging.
4. Prepare cables and termination managers per the instructions on page 4 and punch down to module using punch-down tool with M110 blade on HI setting.
Note: Hold module with one hand to secure it from sliding during punch down.
5. After all cables are terminated, remove module and rotate 180º so that front of module is again facing forward. Position module back into panel opening that cables were pulled through and snap into place.
6. After modules are terminated, check to verify proper cable positioning. If access to rear is available, verify Step 3.

Step 3 – Assemble and Install Rear Cable Manager
860467737
Issue 3, January 2013
1. Attach the four cable troughs onto bar as shown and insert four hook-and-loop straps into slots in cable troughs.
2. Attach cable bar to rear of panel.
3. Lay cables evenly in cable troughs and secure using hook-and-loop straps as shown. For front termination leave straps loose to allow for access of modules.
4. The following figure illustrates a typical completed installation.

Step 4 – Install Front Cord Management and Front Bezel
www.commscope.com
1. Position front cord management as shown and slide onto mounting arms until it is seated.
2. Position front bezel at an angle as shown and insert two bottom retention tabs into slots in cord management.
3. Pivot top of bezel towards panel and insert three tabs on top of bezel into slots in panel until an audible click is heard.

Additional Front Termination Access Instructions
860467737
Issue 3, January 2013
1. Remove two terminated or un-terminated modules (ports 1-6 and ports 7-12 shown) from panel opening to free up space for new termination sequence. Leave modules out of panel.
2. Remove module to be re-terminated (ports 13-18 shown) from panel, rotate 180° and temporarily reinstall in adjacent panel opening.
3. Pull termination manager off by squeezing lock tabs and re-terminate with a replacement termination manager as previously described in Step 2.
4. Remove newly terminated module, rotate 180° so that front of module again faces forward and reinstall in proper panel opening.
5. Replace modules removed for this sequence back into place in panel.

Termination Manager Instructions
Entry holes
The termination managers provide pair positioning, control, and strain relief features to the rear termination area of the panel. See
Figure 1. Instructions for using the termination manager are listed below.
Feed Pairs into Termination Manager
(Figure 2)
1. Trim jacket back at least 3 inches (76mm) to expose twisted-pairs.
2. Without rearrangement out of the jacket, position pairs in-line per pair colors below:
T568B Wiring Application (Shown)
Blue, Brown, Orange, Green
T568A Wiring Application
Blue, Brown, Green, Orange
3. Insert held pairs through holes on top surface of termination manager, two pairs per hole as shown. (The TOP surface is identified with a “T”, which can be oriented
either right side up or upside down).
4. Continue to feed pairs through termination manager until resistance is encountered at the jacket. This will usually be about 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket.
Fold Pairs Back into Slots (Figure 3)
5. Fold each pair over into adjoining slots on bottom end of termination manager. To ease item 8, it is recommended that conductor colors be viewed in the slots as listed below:
T568B Wiring Application (Shown)
BL/OR Pairs – Blue/Orange conductors on top
BR/GR Pairs – both White conductors on top
T568A Wiring Application
BL/GR Pairs – Blue/Green conductors on top
BR/OR Pairs – both White conductors on top
6. Ensure that pairs are in slots completely without being pinched over bottom end surface. It may be necessary to add twist
to align pairs with slots. www.commscope.com

Snap Termination Manager onto Rear
Housing (Figure 4)
7. Snap assembled termination manager onto rear housing with pair colors in proper position. Push on using the termination manager, not by pushing with the cable.
(Ensure that both snaps on manager fully seat into rear housing).
8. After termination manager is snapped onto rear housing, untwist individual pairs fully and line up correct color conductor and white conductor with the label on the rear housing. (The white conductor is always on the right).
Seat Wires into IDC Terminal Slots
(Figure 5)
9. Grasping each untwisted pair, push the conductors down into IDC terminal slots to seat them before punching down. Seat down into slots as far as possible. (It may be easier to use needle nose pliers to perform this task.)
10. Using the D-914 punch tool with M110 blade, punch down conductors making sure the tool is straight and that conductors fully engage in the IDC terminals. Stagger the punch-down tool up and down, so that it stays in alignment with the staggered terminal slots.
Recommendations to Aid Assembly
1. Remove up to 5 inches (127mm) of cable jacket to aid in seating conductors into IDC slots.
2. The termination manager should be snapped onto the rear housing immediately after the pairs have been fed and folded over into the slots. All termination managers should be installed on the panel before proceeding to seat and punch down conductors.
3. Flex cables down for easier access, then seat and punch down the entire top row of the panel.
4. Flex cables up for easier access, then seat and punch down the entire bottom row.
