MOUNTING

2. Using two of the four mounting


screws, mount the patch panel onto the
bottom bracket of the SCS enclosure.
Refer to figure shown below. If a
starter panel is being used, subsequent
patch panels should be installed below
the starter panel.

ROUTING THE CABLE

1. Separate the voice (telephone


distribution) and data (computer
networking) cables and insert them
through the cable hole plugs of the
enclosure. It is recommended that the
voice cable be located on the left and
the data cable on the right of the
enclosure. See Figure 3. Allow a
minimum of 46 cm [18 in.] of excess
cable inside the enclosure.
