CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This is a component level Category 6A, 110 punch down panel that supports 24 ports in a 1 rack unit space. The panel can be mounted in a relay rack or a data cabinet and enables users to make patching transitions from horizontal cables to typical patch cables. It offers an optional clip-on cable management bar included to help assist and organize terminated horizontal cables. This panel is made of sturdy metal construction to reduce flexing during termination. It supports T568A and T568B universal wiring schemes. Simply follow the color-coded guides on the rear panel.

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3.1 STEP 1: PANEL MOUNTING
Mount the Category 6A panel in an open unused rack space that you may have.
NOTE: Do not install the Cable Management bar at this time. You will not
be able to punch down the horizontal cable to the panel with the cable
management on at this time.
3.2 STEP 2: PREPARE THE CABLE
Gather your un-terminated horizontal cabling runs that you wish to terminate to the rear of the CAT6A Patch Panel. Group and organize them as you wish to terminate. Prepare the horizontal cable by stripping back the cable jacket by about 40 mm. See Figure 3-1.
3.3 STEP 3: PUNCH DOWN THE WIRE
Starting from the outside and moving inward, untwist the horizontal cable and begin to lace the twisted pairs onto the 110 contacts on the rear of the patch panel. Choose from either the T568A or T568B wiring scheme. Try to keep the twisting of the pairs as close to the 110 contacts as possible. Use your 110 impact tool to punch down the wire to the panel. See Figure 3-2.
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3.4 STEP 4: TERMINATE THE REMAINING CABLES
Continue on to the next horizontal cable and follow the same terminations procedures. See Figure 3-3.
3.5 STEP 5: INSTALL THE CABLE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT BAR
After all the horizontal cable is terminated to the Category 6A patch panel –
at this time you can install the optional cable management support bar. Get
the one-piece metal cable management support bar and clip it onto the ends of
the patch panel as shown in Figures 3-4 and 3-5.
NOTE: Make sure that all the terminated horizontal cables rest on top of
the cable management crossbar. See Figures 3-5.
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION
3.6 STEP 6: SECURE THE CABLE TO THE BAR
Lastly use the cable ties supplied to secure the terminated horizontal cable to the cable management bar. Use one cable tie for each cabling run. See Figures 3-6.
