You will need the following equipment to install the room station:
•EZ RJ45
•Phillips screwdriver
Installation
Terminate the CAT5 cables used to connect the room station with an RJ45 plug using the TIA 568A residential standard configura- tion. Proper installation of the CAT5e plug is critical to maintain 5e rating of the cable (see Cable preparation on page 1).
Mounting the room station
To mount the room station, do the following:
1.Press the tab on the bottom of the base and lift the face plate off the base.
2.Mount the back plate to a
CAUTION: You must use the flathead screws provided or damage to the room station will occur.
Cable preparation
To add an RJ45 connector to the cable, do the following:
1.Use a CAT5e stripper to score the outer jacket about 2 in. (51 mm) from the end of the cable.
Note: Do not cut the cable with the stripper.
2.Use your fingers to bend the outer jacket back and forth until the jacket breaks off.
3.Cut the spline so that it does not protrude from the outer jacket. Be careful not to nick the wires.
4.Untwist the wires and flatten them until all kinks are removed.
5.Slide 0.25 in. (6 mm) of the outer jacket over the spline.
6.Trim the wires to 1.5 in. (38 mm) from the outer jacket.
7.Arrange the wires in the correct color code sequence according to the T568A pin out configuration.
8.Slide the wires into the RJ45 plug, keeping them in the correct color sequence. The tips of the wires will protrude from the end of the connector.
9.Continue sliding the wires all the way into the plug until about 0.25 in. (6 mm) of the outer jacket is inside the plug. The cable should stop sliding in when the spline touches the connector.
10.Crimp the connector using the EZ RJ45
