Patch Cord/Jumper Installation
and Administration
Before starting the patch cord installation, obtain a copy of the Port Assignment Record forms
from the customer or marketing representative. See ‘‘Port Assignment Record Form’’ on page
175. These forms contain the port assignments and identify the extension numbers (Terminal
No.) of the telephones/voice terminals. Enter the jack assignments at the equipment room and
indicate if adjunct power is required and where it is provided (MDF, site/satellite closet, or
information outlet).
When satellite locations are provided, enter the satellite letter designation (A through F) and the
jack appearance in the equipment room on the form. Also, enter the floor designation and/or
building designation if appropriate. For 1-point administration, this entry is all that is required.
The white label identifying the terminal block row associated with circuits 17 to 24 connects to
an identically labeled terminal block row at the satellite closet. See ‘‘Example 3-Pair Labeling
to Information Outlet’’ on page 176. This is always the case for either 1-point or 2-point
administration.
The satellite symbol must be installed at all connection points between the blue field and the
information outlet. It must also be installed at the information outlet itself.
‘‘Example 4-Pair Labeling to Information Outlet’’ on page 177
shows an example labeling
scheme for 4-pair circuits from the equipment room to the information outlets. The labeling
scheme for 3-pair circuits from the MDF to a satellite location.
