Planning the Installation Because the depth of some wall and cubicle openings differ, observe the following requirements and recommendations before installing the IntelliJack:

•Ensure there is enough volume in the wall opening to accommodate fiber cables.

•Ensure there is clearance around the unit for proper cooling.

•The NJ240FX has been designed for installation into wall or cubicle openings that conform to NEMA standards.

•Make sure the distance between the back of the IntelliJack and the inside of the wall or cubicle opening is at least 25mm to maintain an acceptable bend radius on the cable.

•To ensure proper horizontal cabling functionality, adhere to the following standards during installation:

n ANSI/TIA/EIA-568

Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard

n ANSI/TIA/EIA-569

Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces

The network cabling at your site (from the wiring closet to the wall or cubicle opening) may already be installed. If it is not, install the cabling following these general guidelines.

NOTE: It is recommended that a professional cable installer perform these procedures. Be sure to adhere to local safety and regulatory codes during the cable installation.
