25-Pair Cable Installation (See page 2 for 4-Pair Cable Installation) NOTE: The following procedure is a quick and simple method for installing high performance data cable. Traditional installation methods are also acceptable; however, the following steps must be utilized.
Slack
1. Place a cable tie through the slot on the connector block. 2. Leave approx 7" of wire slack from the end of the cable sheath to the cable tie. 3. Lay the bundle along the top of the connector block as shown and lightly fasten the cable tie. Leave approx 50% space.
Fig. 15
4. After termination, dress the wire bundle in the space between the connectors and into the back of the base as needed.
Routing the Cables Start by routing the cable bundle for the lower base.
