Telecom enclosure wiring
If you are using a telecom style enclosure, pull enough wiring and lead-in cable into the enclosure
to form a 2 m service loop. Form the loop by wrapping the cables one full turn around the inside of
the telecom enclosure (see Figure 148:
and Figure 149:).
1. Label the lead-in cables and I/O wiring.
2. Pull the lead-in cables and I/O wiring into the telecom enclosure.
3. Create a service loop by running the lead-in cables and I/O wiring one full turn around the
inside of the telecom enclosure.
4. Remove the cable glands and route the I/O wiring through the appropriate cable gland, into
the OmniTrax enclosure (Figure 152:
).
5. Fit the 4 protective grommets onto the 4 sensor cable holes in the mounting bracket.
6. Connect the lead-in cables to the bulkhead connectors on the bottom of the enclosure (left to
right TXA, RXA, RXB, TXB).
7. Secure the cables to one of the holes on each side of the mounting bracket.
Note For SC1 sensor cable, you must strip at least 61 cm (24 in.) of the outer
gray jacket and separate the two internal coaxial cables.
Tape the semi-conductive inner black jackets with electrical tape
anywhere that they can make contact with metal surfaces.
Note Route the cable to the appropriate connector on the enclosure, trim the
cable if necessary, then install a TNC connector on each cable.
