3. Installation
3.1 Tools You’ll Need
• UTP termination tool
• Wire cutters
3.2 Cable Handling Guidelines
• Do not route telephone cables through the same
cable holes as the AC power cables.
• For safety, separate all telephone cables from
parallel AC power lines by at least 6 inches
(15.2 cm) whenever possible. Avoid kinking the
cable.
• Do not attach cable tie-downs too tightly. The
cable-fastening hardware should not compress
the cable sheath.
• Do not bend the cable sharply. Place the cables
properly in the cable management after passing
them through the holes, since the edges of the
hole can compress or damage the cable sheath.
• When installing an individual module in the Pure
Home Networking Box, place it above or below
the interfacing module (if possible). This will
eliminate excessive cable crossing.
• For your safety, do not use this or any electrical
product near water (unless it is specifically
designed for wet areas). Do not install wiring
during thunder and lightning storms.
• Use caution when handling or installing any
computer, telephone, video, or electrical devices.
3.3 Attaching a Module to a Wallmount Faceplate
1. Using the appropriate cable stripping tool, strip
approximately 2" (5.1 cm) of the cable jacket.
2. Separate the pairs according to color (whiteblue/blue, white-orange/orange, whitegreen/green, and white-brown/brown).
3. To terminate the connection, place each wire into
the insulation displacement contacts (IDC) by
matching the wire color with the applicable colors
on the punchdown block.
NOTE
We recommend untwisting the pairs no more than 1"
(2.5 cm) from the termination point.
4. If you are using a 110-type punchdown tool,
position the tool over each wire with the cutting
blade facing the outside of the IDC and punch
down firmly.
5. Repeat the process with each pair.
6. Install the included termination caps firmly onto
the IDC.
7. Fasten the insert and wallplate to an electrical box
using the supplied screws.
