INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CABLE REQUIREMENT: Terminates most 22-26 AWG solid or stranded
IWC wire with a 0.050" (1.27mm) max. o.d., either PVC or Plenum rated.
LOCATION
Mounting a system at the right height will make wiring changes and additions cost efficient. The optimum height, from the
floor to the top of a 72 port/432 pair GP6 PLUS base, is 68 inches. If the customer needs don’t exceed the wiring capacity
of one base of 24 port/144 pair, the optimum distance from the floor to the top of the system can be reduced to 43 inches.
This height will allow for expansion of 72 port/144 pair on top and 72 port/432 pair underneath.

INSTALLATION
1. Use appropriate mounting hardware to install base
on desired surface as shown in Fig. 1, 3/4" plywood
is recommended. (Tip: Panduit lettering should be
upright.)
2. Route cables through the slots in the base as
shown in Fig. 2.
3. Cable jacket end should be within 1/2" from where
cable pairs are inserted. Cable pairs must remain
twisted up to the point of connection for Category 6
installation.
Note: When using 4-pair cable, high density
bases must be wired from the center out to
each side, as shown in Fig. 3a.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CABLE REQUIREMENT: Terminates most 22-26 AWG solid or stranded
IWC wire with a 0.050" (1.27mm) max. o.d., either PVC or Plenum rated.
4. Inspect cable pair color placement prior to using
either a GPST single wire punchdown tool or
GPDTM multi-pair punchdown tool to seat and cut
the pairs to length.
Note: When using a single wire punchdown
tool to insert and cut wires, the HIGH impact
setting should be used. ALIGN TOOL WITH
BLOCK.
5. Position the connecting block over the wired base.
6. Secure the connecting block in place using the
GPDTM multi-pair punchdown tool. It is important
to keep the tool perpendicular to the base to
ensure a good termination.
7. Once the connecting blocks have been seated,
cross connect wires can be terminated to the top
of the connecting blocks or GP6 PLUS patch
cords can be installed. If cross-connecting,
reference Fig. 3b.
Note: Optional retaining cap can be installed at
this time.

8. Add cable identification to the label, fold label, and
slide it into the label holder. The label and label
holder snap into position on the base in-between
rows of connecting blocks as shown in Fig. 6.

INSTALLATION TIPS:
1. GP6 PLUS product terminates most 22-26 AWG solid or stranded IWC wire with a 0.050" (1.27mm) max. o.d., either PVC or Plenum rated.
2. Never install wire into a slot previously used for a larger gauge.
3. Be careful to strip back cable jacket only as required for termination.
4. Use care to maintain pair twists up to the termination strip.
5. When stripping cable jacket, be careful not to cut the insulation on the individual wires.
6. Avoid sharp bends when routing cable.
As with all Wiring Accessories, the following statements apply:
1. Never install communications wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install communications wiring in wet locations unless the product is specifically designed for use in wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated communications wiring or terminals unless the communication line has been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying communication wiring.
