Terminating the IDN Cable
1. Refer to Lan Cable Termination before terminating the IDN cable at each modular
connector.
2. Attach the printer to the wall plate with the 6-pin to 6-pin patch cable supplied with
the device.
3. Strip the outer insulation off of the cable to expose about 1 inch of the conductors.
Do not strip the insulated conductors.
4. Place the color coded conductors and ground wire into the connector cap and
press the cap into place. If this is a multi-drop connection, place two conductors of
a like color into the connector cap and press the cap into place. Use a small pair of
pliers to push the connector cap into place.
5. If shielded cable is used, place the length of Teflon tubing over the drain wire to
prevent it from shorting to the other conductors.
6. If non-shielded cable is used, fasten the ring terminal on the ground wire to conduit
ground.
7. Repeat at each IDN connector.
