DO'S & DON'TS - TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Here are some best practices to follow and some of the most common mistakes to

avoid. Keeping these tips in mind will help assure you a successful install.

DO use cable hangers.

DO run your CAT-5e cable at a 90-degree angle across

power lines when crossing cables is necessary. DO NOT

run CAT-5e parallel to or in close proximity to high

voltage cables or sources of interference. DO leave at

least 12" clearance from sources of line voltage.

DO terminate cables according to T568B.

DO make sure crimps are deep, straight and that the

blades penetrate the conductors evenly for proper

contact.

DO use a remote cable tester to verify each segment.

DO NOT use cables with strain-relief boots at

connectors. Some nLight devices have limited cabling

space that does not allow for boots.

DO protect CAT-5e connectors (bag and tie) and cover

open ports if construction is ongoing and connections

cannot be completed.

DO NOT use tape on connectors - residue from tape will

cause poor connections.

DO NOT leave excess cable coiled up. Cut cable to

appropriate length. DO leave a short service loop at the

end of each cable run.

DO NOT damage the jacket or overstress the

conductors.

DO NOT exceed 1500 feet CAT-5e per nLight Control

Zone.

DO check the port for debris or bent pins before

inserting connector.

DO seat the connector carefully and fully into the RJ-45

jack, observing which side has the clasp vs. pins. Insert

until locking hinge clicks to secure connector in port.
