Important Safety Instructions

WARNING
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.
  • NPP Panels do not include 12-24 mounting screws.

Step 1 – Mount Panel to Rack

1. Mount panel to rack.
Step 2Terminate Conductors on Rear of Panel

COMMSCOPE UNP-6A-DM-1U-24 Distribution Module Panel - fig
3

Note: The module comes with a T568B wiring designation label installed. If T568A wiring is desired, first remove the “B” type label, change accordingly. If the module comes with a combined T568 A&B wiring designation label installed, choose T568A wiring or T568B wiring according to label designation.

  1. Prepare cable for termination. Terminate conductors on the IDC terminals per the wiring diagram shown above and utilizing the provided termination manager.
  2. See pages 7 and 8 for correct procedure on using the termination manager.

Step 3 – Assemble and Install Rear Cable Manager

COMMSCOPE UNP-6A-DM-1U-24 Distribution Module Panel - fig
4

  1. Once cables have been terminated, attach cable bar to rear of panel. For 48-port panels, two cable bars are provided. Insert four hook-and-loop straps to cable bar.
  2. Lay cables evenly in bends of cable bar and secure using the hook-and-loop straps provided.

Step 4 – Attaching Information Labels

  1. Enter information on the white information labels provided in label holder kits. Snap holders into panel modules and insert labels into label holders as shown in figure 1.
  2. To print a designation label, go to http://www.commscope.com/Resources/Labeling-Templates and scroll down to Panels and select the proper label template.
    Note: Labeling website has two options for printing labels; letter size and A4 size.

Patch Panel Termination Manager Instructions

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.
Not applicable for Cat5e panels

Feed Pairs into Termination Manager (Figure 2)

  1. Trim jacket back at least 3 inches (76mm) to expose twisted pairs.

  2. Without crossing over or rearranging pairs 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 pairs through 4 holes on top surface of termination manager, one pair per hole, as shown.

  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 into Slots (Figure 3)

  5. Fold each pair over into adjoining slots on bottom end of termination manager. Conductor colors must be arranged 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
    Important: Add twist as needed to align pairs with slots. Never remove twist for any pair. Do not allow pairs to untwist inside termination manager or inside cable jacket.

  6. Ensure that both conductors of each pair are in slots completely without being pinched over bottom end surface.
    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 housing, not by pushing with the cable. (Ensure that both lock tabs 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.
    Seat Wires into IDC Terminal Slots (Figure 5)
    COMMSCOPE UNP-6A-DM-1U-24 Distribution Module Panel - fig
10

  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 on HI impact setting, 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. 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.
  2. Flex cables down for easier access, then seat and punch down the entire top row of the panel.
  3. Flex cables up for easier access, then seat and punch down the entire bottom row.
