M30FP-3RCA-110 Video/Audio Adapter Installation Instructions

General

The 3-port RCA-type adapter provides baseband video and audio connectivity to 24 AWG unshielded twisted­pair (UTP) wiring. The 3RCA adapter connects audio and video electronics to building wiring utilizing a 110
insulation displacement connecting (IDC) block. Each adapter connects to four pairs of a 4-pair UTP cable and
has red, white, and yellow color-coded connectors.

The adapter is compatible with the M13FP/M26FP flexible faceplates and the M204SMB/M208SMB surface
mount boxes and is available in four colors.

Connect Twisted-Pair Wires

1. Remove about 2 inches (51mm ) of jack et from the
cable. Remove any bisector or flute by cutting it as
close to the sheath as possible.

2. Locate a block of wood or other suitable flat,
square-edge surface, which is a minimum of 1/2
inch (13mm) thic k, and position the adapter on it as
shown before connecting wires.

Important: Do not exert force on the rear of the
adapter without first resting the adapter body on a
supporting surface, so as to prevent damage to
RCA connectors on the front.

3. Untwist the orange/white pair and green/white pair
first and place both pairs of conductors in the
appropriately color-coded IDC slots. There should
be approximately 1/2 inch (13mm) of conductor
length from the edge of the IDC slot to the cable
jacket.

Note: Ins erting these pairs firs t will help center the
jacketed cable at the rear of the adapter. This is
important for placing caps over slots and in
preventing conductor pullout from the IDC slot.

4. Seat the wires into the IDC slots using an impact
tool with M110 blade on LO-impact setting. Use the
cutting edge of the blade to trim excess wire flush
with 110 block.

5. Untwist the blue/white pair and brown/white pair
and place both pairs of conductors in the
appropriately color-coded IDC slots.

6. Bend the outer conductors evenly so they enter the
IDC slots at a 90° angle.

7. Seat the wires into the IDC slots using an impact
tool with M110 blade on LO-impact setting. Use the
cutting edge of the blade to trim excess wire flush
with 110 block.
