Locate Information Outlets

The customer or marketing representative must provide floor plans showing the information outlet locations and types (flush- or surface-mounted) required. The floor plans must also show a complete overview of all conduit and cabling facilities in the building.

Locate Satellites and Sites

Use the following information when determining site, satellite, or adapter locations.

a. Keep the number of locations to a minimum.

b. To minimize the station wiring distances, centrally locate the sites/satellites, or adapters among the information outlets.

c. Site/satellite locations must be easily accessible and contain AC-powered receptacles.

Adapter Requirements

One 258A/BR2580A adapter is required for each 25-pair station cable containing 4-pair station circuits. One 356A adapter is required for each 25-pair station cable containing 3-pair station circuits.

Hardware Requirements

Hardware requirements are the same as for the equipment room.

Sizing 4-Pair Station Cables

Use the scale of the floor plan to determine the approximate length of the station cables required per the standard SYSTIMAX wiring concepts.

Sizing 25-Pair and Multiple 25-Pair Station

Cables

Use the scale of the floor plan to determine the approximate length of each

25-pair station cable. The cables must be selected and properly sized to make maximum use of the hardware at the equipment room or satellite location.

Use 25-pair B25A cables to connect adapters directly to the MDF or satellite location. Staggered-finger cables, equipped with factory-installed 25-pair connectors at both ends, should be used when multiple 25-pair cables are used
