Appendix F: 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.

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

2Terminate the other end of the cable at the location where the NJ95 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 following network cabling standards during installation:

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

■ANSI/TIA/EIA-569 Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces

■British Standard Institute (BSI): BS 4664:1970

■DIN
