Installation Guide

Appendix D: Setting up the Network Cabling at Your Site

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.

CAUTION: 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.

1.Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your network. Usually, this connection is done in the Network wiring closet, via the patch panel.

2.Terminate the other end of the cable at the location where the NJ90 is being installed using a female RJ-45 connector. Refer to the connector manufacturer’s instructions for terminating the cable. Be sure to test the connector and verify it is working.

To ensure proper horizontal cabling functionality, adhere to the fol- lowing network cabling standards during installation:

ANSI/TIA/EIA-568Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard

ANSI/TIA/EIA-569Commercial Building Standard for Telecom- munications Pathways and Spaces
