room and site location or adapter. Use a male-to-male cable to connect between the equipment
room and satellite location. Staggered finger cables are recommended for all multiple 25-pair
station cables and are available in both double-ended and single-ended types.
Single modular plug-ended 4-pair station cable
— Use this cable between adapters and
information outlets that require push-on connections. It can also be used when 4-pair station
cables are field-terminated on the 110-type terminal blocks in the equipment room or satellite
closet and modularly connected to information outlets. The station cables are available in the
following lengths:
• 10 ft (3.05 m)
• 25 ft (7.62 m)
• 50 ft (15.24 m)
• 75 ft (22.86 m)
• 100 ft (30.5 m)
• 150 ft (45.72 m)
• 200 ft (61 m)
NOTE:
If more than 200 ft (61 m) of 4-pair station cable is required, a 451A in-line adapter
(double-ended modular female connector) is attached to the cable and a second 4-pair
cable of the required length is plugged into the adapter. See ‘‘Example of Extending 4-Pair
Station Cables’’ on page 152.
Double modular plug-ended 4-pair station cable
— Use this cable to provide nonstandard
length runs between adapters and information outlets with push-on connections. It can also be
used between adapters and modularly connected information outlets. It is available in the same
lengths as the single modular plug-ended cable.
Bulk Cable
— Same as the 25-pair cable or multiple 25-pair cable; however, the bulk cable is
not equipped with connectors. Use this cable between the equipment room and satellite closets
when both are equipped with punch-down type terminal/connecting blocks.
4-pair station cable
— Use this cable when 4-pair station cables are to be field-terminated on
the 110-type terminal blocks in the equipment room or satellite closet and the information
outlets require push-on connections
