To terminate Ethernet cables on the Leviton 476TM-652 Twist & Mount Patch Panel, follow these steps:
1. Strip approximately 3 inches of the outer jacket from the cable.
2. Match the color coding of the wires to the colors on the 110 IDC color coded wire termination diagram. Make sure to terminate Category 5e wire to Category 5e ports and Category 6 wire to Category 6 ports.
3. Slide each wire into the wire holder in its associated channel.
4. Using the provided Plastic 110 Termination Tool:
- Push the appropriate wire into the color designated 110 IDC slot with the tool.
- Trim excess wire with diagonal cutters.
5. Using a professional Punch Tool:
- Orient the tool with the cutting blade as shown.
- Push straight down until the tool seats and trims the wire, making a clicking noise.
Note: The TIA-570-B Residential Wiring Standard calls for T568A wiring termination. Certain building installations may require T568B termination. To use T568B termination, flip the color-coded wire termination diagram over and wire according to the color code shown for T568B. Wall outlets must be wired to match the chosen termination standard.
Please refer to the Leviton 476TM-652 Twist & Mount Patch Panel User Manual for visual illustrations and additional information on cable termination.
