Routing the AAP Cables

The AAP cables must have freedom of movement to permit opening and closing the surface mount enclosure. At the same time, they need to be restrained to prevent their rubbing against the edges of the enclosure cable access hole in the underside of the surface mount enclosure. Rubbing against the cable access hole edges can damage the cables. Route and secure the AAP cables as follows:

1.

Open the top panel to extend the AAP cables to their

 

maximum pull.

2.

Experiment with AAP cable positioning to ensure that the

 

cables do not rub against the edges of the AAP cable hole

 

and to ensure that the cable pull does not restrict the

 

movement of the top panel. Figure 2-9 shows the cables

 

routed to the side, which proved effective in tests at

 

Extron.

3.Secure the AAP cables to the tie-down holes with tie wraps in the clamshell and the enclosure in the locations shown on figure 2-9.

Bezels

The HSA ships with RJ-45/RJ-11 connector bezel plug-ins in a variety of colors and a black, blank bezel.

Bezel

To change to a different color connector bezel, or if a connector is not needed or desired, replace the connector bezel plug-in on the front panel with a bezel of a different color or a blank plug-in. See Replacing the Bezels in chapter 3.

If no connector is desired, snap the interior RJ-45 connector onto the rear of the blank bezel plug-in to hold it conveniently out of the way. Retain the removed connector bezel plug-in for any possible later use.
