Termination Tips
Extra Cable for Re-Terminations
TIA recommends storing 10 feet (3 m) of extra cable in the telecom room and
12-18 inches (3-4.5 m) above work area installations for re-terminations and
to accommodate moves, adds, and changes. Use an extended or figure 8 loop
configuration to alleviate cable stress. Cable slack in bundled or excessive loops has
been shown to degrade cable performance and is associated with return loss failures.

TECH TIP: Using Icons in Atlas-X1 Connectors
One of the unique benefits of Leviton Atlas-X1™ connectors is the ability to add icons to the front of the connector that
designate specific applications, such as data, voice, and AV. These matching-color icons are provided with each connector.
First, select the desired icon. Then, trim away any residual plastic vestige from
the icon packaging, and press the icon securely into the front of the connector.
If you want to remove an icon from the front of a connector, simply unbend
a small paper clip, insert the end of the clip into the icon release hole, and
gently pry outward.
Bulk orders of 72 icons are also available. They come in 13 colors, and a package
includes 24 of each icon. Use part number ICONS-IC* (the asterisk represents
the color choice).
