MODULAR SIX PACK PATCH PANEL 1 HU EMPTY FOR 24 SNAP-IN CONNECTORS WITH CLIP-ON AND SHUTTERS WITH SLIDING MECHANISM During installation, care of LANmark-6/7 products is much more critical than when installing LANmark-5 or other Nexans Category 5e products. The high levels of performance can only be guaranteed if the installation procedures are followed. Special attention must be given to keep the length of untwist of the pairs to as little as possible. This product is suitable for all Snap-in connectors from the Nexans range, except for the LANmark Snap-in screened without rear cover. The LANmark Snap-in connector with rear cover has to be used for screened solutions in order to ensure contact between the foil of the cable and the clips of the Modular Six-Pack patch panel. 1HU Assemble the cage nuts to both side flanges of the frame or cabinet according to the cabinet layout.

Mount the patch panel on to the assembled cage nuts. Pull the cables through the rear side of the patch panel. Loosely organise the cables for the patch panel coming from the outlets. Nexans Cabling Solutions Installation Guide MPP24Snap with sliding - 3
Terminate the connectors on the cables as per the Snap-in Installation Guides. Snap the connectors into the Patch Panel by hooking the top of the connector under the front mounting plate and then lowering the connector into its aperture. To remove the connector : put a very small screwdriver under the connector in the hole. Nexans Cabling Solutions Installation Guide MPP24Snap with sliding - 4
Important : Make sure to leave the OUTER jacket under the clip-on cable guide. Earthing : 1. The Patch Panel is automatically earthed if used in conjunction with the Nexans Quick Mount Cabinet. 2. Where the Patch panel are mounted onto a painted or coated frame, two additionnal earthing tags, suitable for 9 mm spade connectors, are available in the Patch panel at each end of the clip-on cable guide. Manage in and dress the cables into the rack or fame. When the patch panel is closed after termination of the cables this will add to the bending radius of the cables and facilitate access to the patch panel post installation. If the cables are dressed and managed into the frame or cabinet with the patch panel closed it is often not possible to pull the patch panel forward for access later on due to the tightness of the cables. Keep a minimum of 35cm distance between the front side of the patch panel and the fixing point of the cables in the cabinet or frame.

Close the patch panels using the black fastener clips on the front of the patch panel. Always terminate the first patch panel completely before starting the installation of a second patch panel. IMPORTANT REMARKS : It is recommended to use a patch guide for each 48 ports. The recommended patch guides are the 1HU (102.117) for all installations excluding LANmark-7 (GG45) and the 2HU (102.127) for LANmark-7. This 2HU patch guide can also be used for LANmark-6 installations where enough space is available. NOTE : Only start testing the links or channels when the connectors are installed in the Patch Panel. Nexans Cabling Solutions Installation Guide MPP24Snap with sliding - 7
