Labeling Jacks and Boxes

3Depending on the kind of line wiring, follow the order and color codes listed in Table 2-4, “CO Line Wiring, 6-Position Jack, Single-Pair,” Table 2-5, “CO Line Wiring, 6-Position Jack, Two-Pair,”and Table 2-6, “CO Line Wiring, 6-Position Jack, Multipair” on pages 2-46 through 2-48. Place the colored wires in the grooves on the connector of the adapter. Continue placing wires in grooves on each adapter until you have attached a pair of wires for each outside line. If you have the maximum of 56 lines, for example, you’ll need 14 adapters for each set of four outside lines.

4Align the two plastic caps over the grooved connector now holding the colored wires, and push the caps down until they snap into place.

5If the caps did not trim the wires when you snapped them down onto the block, trim the ends of the wire protruding from the grooves with a pair of scissors or diagonal pliers. When you're finished, none of the wires should extend far enough beyond the plastic caps to touch each other.

Follow these instructions to label jacks and boxes:

1Locate the green label sheet that came with the apparatus box, the telephone number directory, jack- identifier label strips, and labels for the apparatus box and the line jacks.

2On the telephone number directory, fill in the telephone numbers for the outside lines in the order in which they appear at the network interface or on the list provided by the local telephone company.

3Using the telephone number directory as a guide, label the jacks in the apparatus box with the appropriate line jack labels.
