Leviton 47603-24P 24PORT STRUCTURED MEDIA PANEL

Pre-Configured Structured Cabling Panels

APPLICATION

One of six Pre-Configured Structured Cabling Panels, which may be used to connect basic telephone service, data (with a network hub), and, on selected versions, video service for home or office cabling. Panels are designed to fit into Structured Media Centers™ (Models 100, 140, 280, or 420), or plastic mounting hardware may be removed and the unit may be screwed directly onto a plywood backboard.

PLANNING

• Your Pre-Configured Structured Cabling Panel may consist of one or more of the following components: a 1×9 Bridged Telephone Module, a Category 5e Voice and Data Module, a Telephone Distribution Module, or a 6-way Video Splitter.
• Plan all of your cable routings carefully to be sure the selected distribution panel will satisfy your requirements. Determine the number of outlet locations required for a basic phone, fax, modem, and TV service. Additional Category 5e Voice and Data Modules (PN# 47603-C5) and 1×9 Bridged Telephone Expansion modules (PN# 47603-110) are available separately.

Modules:

Your Pre-Configured Structured Cabling Panel consists of one or more of the following modules:

• Category 5e Voice and Data Module: used for terminating remote connections (from wall outlets) for voice, fax, modem, and computer. Use it to provide dial tone to an outlet, or to link to a network hub.
• Telephone Distribution Module: accepts incoming service from the telephone service provider (dial tones) and provides dial tone (for up to 4 lines) to ports on the Category 5e Voice and Data Module by way of short patch cords.
• 1×9 Bridged Phone Module: used for connecting up to four phone lines for voice, fax, and modem in a bridged wiring configuration.
• 6-way Video Splitter: routes basic video signals from one input to as many as six remote televisions.[Should the local signal need active attenuation, an optional video module will be required (PN#48210-VA).]

Installation

Position the Structured Cabling Panel inside the SMC enclosure. Align the plastic Push Lock Pins (plunger out) on the distribution panel with the appropriate mounting holes on the enclosure. Seat the panel in place, resting flat against the back of the panel, and then press the Push Lock Pins inward with your thumb to lock it into place. You will know the push locks are secure if they “click” when pressing in.

CATEGORY 5e VOICE & DATA MODULE

Connecting the Category 5e Voice and Data Module

• Run twisted pair cable to the Category 5e Voice and Data Module from wall outlets. Strip about 3˝ of outer jacket from the cable. Punch individual cable pairs down on the six white connectors on the sides of the Module. Match the color coding of the wires to the colors on the connector. If you do not have a professional grade termination tool, use the plastic tool supplied with the module. (See 110 Punchdown Procedure.) All four pairs of each cable must be terminated. (The module supports T568A wiring pattern – See figure 2.)
• Punch the individual conductors down onto the appropriate connections. If you are using the plastic tool, make sure you trim the excess wire ends with a separate tool, such as a side cutter.
• Use ports to route telephone service to wall outlets, or to connect to a data hub.(Ports will accept both 6 and 8-position plugs.)

TELEPHONE DISTRIBUTION MODULE

Connecting the Telephone Distribution Module

Run twisted pair cable to the Telephone Distribution Module from the telephone company demarcation point. Strip about 3˝of outer jacket from the cable. Punch individual cable pairs down on the white connector at the top of the Telephone Distribution Module. If you do not have a professional grade termination tool, remove excess wire with side cutters.

NOTE: One pair of wires corresponds to each line from the phone company.(Line 1=blue, Line 2=orange, Line 3=green, Line 4=brown.) (See Figure 2.)

By punching incoming Telco lines at the top of the Telephone Distribution Module, the lines will be routed to the three columns of ports. The short (3˝) 8-position patch cord on the left of the module acts to provide this bridge between the incoming lines and the columns of jacks below. (This is also a disconnect point between the home and the telephone service provider for testing purposes.)

Line 1 and Line 2 will both be carried to the first column of ports, which provides two-line phone service for multi-line phones. (For single-line phones, only Line 1 will be accessible.) Line 3 will be carried to the second row, and Line 4 to the third. These ports are single-line only.

An RJ31X port on the top left of the module will allow connection of a security system, and allow an override of telephone services in case of emergency.

Using the Telephone Distribution Module with the Category 5e Voice and Data Module

To connect phone service from the Telephone Distribution Module to the various wall outlets around the home or office, simply connect a patch cord from the appropriate column on the Telephone Distribution Panel to the desired port on the Category 5e Voice and Data Module. (See figure 1.)

1X9 BRIDGED TELEPHONE MODULE

Connecting the 1×9 Bridged Telephone Module

Run twisted pair cable to the Bridged Telephone Module from the telephone company demarcation point. Strip 3˝ of outer jacket from the cable. Punch individual cable pairs down on the first white connector at the top of the Bridged Telephone Module. If you do not have a professional grade termination tool, use the plastic tool supplied with this panel. If you are using the plastic tool, remove excess wire with side cutters (See 110 Punchdown Procedure.)

NOTE: One pair of wires corresponds to each line from the phone company. (Line 1=blue, Line 2=orange, Line 3=green, Line 4=brown). (See Figure 2.)

By punching incoming Telco lines at the top of the Bridged Telephone Module, the lines will be bridged to all connectors on the module.

Terminate incoming twisted pair cables (coming from the wall outlets throughout the home) onto any of the nine remaining rows of connectors. Punch down pairs based on which phone line is desired at which location. On a one- line phone, the primary line is represented by the blue/white wire pair. This pair should be punched down onto a point corresponding to the phone line you want connected (Line 1=blue, Line 2=orange, Line 3=green, line 4=brown).

NOTE: The secondary line on a two-line telephone is represented by the orange/white pair.

Example: To run Line 1 (blue in from Telco) to a phone in the kitchen, simply punch all wires down on their corresponding colors (blue pair to the blue connection point, etc.) (See Figure 2.)

Example: To run Line 3 (Green in from Telco) to a phone in the office, punch incoming green pair onto the blue (Line 1) connection point. (The blue incoming pair can be switched over to the green connection point while orange and brown pairs remain the same.) (See Figure 3.)

6-WAY COAXIAL SPLITTER

Connecting the 6-Way Splitter

Run coaxial cable to the 6-Way Splitter from incoming cable TV service or a rooftop antenna. Attach a male F-type connector onto the incoming cable and screw onto the middle termination point (marked “IN”) of the 6-Way Splitter. In a similar manner, terminate the coaxial cables coming from the wall outlets on the other six ports. All TVs now connected to the 6-Way Splitter will receive the same service. If there are unused outputs on the 6-Way Splitter, it is recommended that you install 75 Ohm termination caps (PN# 40984) onto these outputs. This will help reduce the likelihood of signal distortion and “ghosting.”

110 PUNCHDOWN PROCEDURE

Lace wires into proper slots according to selected configuration.

Using Plastic Tool:

1. Push wire into slot with the tool. (See Figure 4.)
2. Trim excess wire with diagonal cutter. (See Figure 5.)

Using Professional Punch Tool:

1. Orient tool with cutting blade as shown. (see Figure 6.)
2. Push straight down until tool seats and trims wire, making a clicking noise.
