Terminate shielded Cat5e cables to the rear LSA or 110 punch-down blocks according to the cable colouring and the chosen wiring scheme. Connect shielded RJ45 patch cords to the front ports and ensure the cable shield is properly grounded via the panel or rack grounding point. Use the integrated cable management and strain relief to route and secure incoming and outgoing cables to prevent excess bending and mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For best results, use equip® shielded patch cords and maintain proper grounding of the shielded cabling. Label cables and record port mappings during installation to simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.
