Rackmount Balun Chassis 16 (500900)

Installation Guide

Introduction

The Rackmount Balun Chassis 16 is designed as a head-end cable management
solution, allowing any combination of up to sixteen (16) MuxLab square baluns to be
installed in a standard 19” telecom relay rack. Head-end AV equipment such as DVD
players, video servers and cable boxes may be installed in a local wiring closet and
connected to the Cat5 structured cabling system via a wide array of MuxLab balun
solutions.

The baluns may be installed in either front or rear- facing orientation depending on the
application. At the display end, the appropriate MuxLab baluns are installed at the
receivers to support a fully Cat5 cabling solution. Each balun snaps into place and is
held firmly by a spring latching mechanism. The product features a rugged one-piece
design for ease of installation and maintenance.

into the desired slot from the rear of the Balun Chassis. The slots are numbered “1”
to “16”. Each balun snaps into place and is retained by a spring-steel retaining clip.

4. The baluns may be installed either front or rear facing. In order to remove each

balun, lift the spring retaining clip at the rear of the chassis and pull out the balun in a
horizontal direction.
