Description
The ADTRAN T400 housing is used with a Loop 
Powered (LP) Type 400 network termination unit and 
is located at the customers premises. Functioning as a 
point-of-demarcation, the combination housing and 
circuit pack provide diagnostic and provisioning 
information useful in installation and trouble isolation 
procedures.
Connections are made to the unit by a screw terminal 
block and an RJ-48 jack.

After unpacking the unit, inspect it for damage. If 
damage is discovered, file a claim with the carrier and 
then contact ADTRAN. See Warranty and Customer 
Service.

using the mounting holes shown in Figure 2.
Open the cover and insert the circuit card through the 
front of the housing until it snaps into the card edge 
connector (J1), shown in Figure 2. After making the 
interface connections and lowering and securing the 
cover, the unit is ready for normal operation. Some 
circuit cards may require a frame ground connection 
to pin 11 or 27 of the gold finger connector. A ground 
lug (L1), as illustrated in Figure 2, is provided to 
connect an external frame ground wire to the unit.

3. CONNECTIONS
The barrier strip provides screw-down terminals for 
network and customer signal interfaces. Customerside connections are usually made through the RJ-48 
connector which is prewired to the barrier strip. To 
connect to the barrier strip, conductors should be 
placed beneath the square washer of each screw 
terminal and tightened.  Table 1 provides cable pair 
connections and descriptions.
