1 Do not use this or any electrical product

near water (unless specifically

designated for use in wet locations).

2 To avoid electrical shock or equipment

damage, never push foreign objects into

the openings of this device.

3 Do not install telephone wiring during

thunder and lightning storms.

4 Disconnect the telephone line at the

network interface (where telephone wiring

enters your home) before touching

uninsulated telephone wire or terminals.

5 Fill all unused wall plate outlets with

blanks to prevent access to energized

wires or parts.

6 Use caution when handling or installing

any telephone, computer, video, or

electrical devices.

1 Pull your coaxial cable through the

opening in the wall plate.

2 Mount the wall plate to the electrical box

or low-voltage bracket.

3 Following the instructions provided by

the manufacturer, attach an appropriate

connector to your coaxial cable.

4 Attach the MNM2 F Connector (see

Figure 1):

• Place the threads of the coaxial cable

connector against the threaded barrel

on the back of the MNM2.

• Hold the coaxial cable connector

stationary and rotate the MNM2

clockwise until it is fully seated.

5 Insert the MNM2 into the wall plate (see

Figure 2). Apply light pressure until it

snaps into place.

1 Feed the speaker cable through the

opening in the wall plate.

2 Mount the wall plate to the electrical box

or low-voltage bracket.

3 Strip about 3/8" of insulation from each

conductor.

Back the hex nut on the back of the

binding post completely out by turning

counterclockwise.

4 Insert the conductor directly through the

hole in the rear shaft of the binding post.

5 Tighten the hex nut on the back of the

binding post by turning the nut

clockwise. Make sure the nut is

sufficiently tight to ensure a good

connection.

6 Insert the binding post into the wall plate

(see Figure 1). Apply light pressure until

it snaps into place.

7 If necessary, repeat steps 1-6 for the

second binding post.

Making Connections to the Front of the

Binding Post

1 If you are using a male banana

connector, plug the connector directly into

the opening on the front side of the

binding post.

2 If you are making a wire connection:

• Strip off approximately 3/8" of

insulation using a cable-stripping tool.

• Back out the nut on the front of the

binding post by turning it

counterclockwise.

• Insert the conductor through the hole

in the binding post shaft.

• Tighten the nut by turning it clockwise.

Make sure the nut is sufficiently tight to

ensure a good connection.

TIPS – Be Careful to Ensure Consistent

Polarity – and to Avoid Speaker Wire

Short Circuits.

Speaker wire and connections are

commonly designated positive and

negative. This is called polarity. When

installing speaker wiring and making

connections, ensure that positive and

negative connections are not reversed. If a

speaker is connected with polarity reversed

compared to other speakers, it will operate

out of phase with other speakers and

cause reduced audio performance.

Speaker wire short circuits can damage an

amplifier or receiver. Be careful whenever

making speaker wire connections to ensure

that positive and negative speaker

conductors cannot contact one another at

any point.

Safety Tips

Figure 1

1 Feed the 4-pair, unshielded twisted-pair

cable through the opening in the wall

plate.

2 Mount the wall plate to the electrical box

or low-voltage bracket.

3 Strip off approximately 2" of cable jacket

with an appropriate cable stripping tool

such as Pass & Semour Cat.# PSSTV.

4 Separate the cable pairs by color

(Blue/Blue-White, Orange/Orange-

White, Green/Green-White, and

Brown/Brown-White).

IMPORTANT: Each wire pair must be

connected (terminated) to the correct

insulation-displacement contacts (see

Figure 1). Match the applicable color

code shown on the jack (either 568A or

568B, see Note 1).

6 Place each wire pair into the insulation-

displacement contacts on the back of

the jack.

7 Set the face of the jack module into the

track of the wall plate, frame (if using 2-

piece decorator plates), or against any

other stable surface (see Note 2).

8a If using a 110-type punchdown tool (for

example, Pass & Semour Cat.#

PSIHTV), terminate the Blue cable pair:

• Place the tool over each individual

wire. The cutting edge of the blade

must face the outside of the

insulation-displacement contacts (see

Figure 2).

• Punch each wire into place on the

contacts.

• Repeat for Orange, Green, and

Brown cable pairs.

8b Alternative Termination (For USOC/Cat

5e): Proceed through Step 6. Place

stuffer cap over contacts. Using

channel-type pliers, firmly seat cap onto

contact block. Using diagonal cutters,

trim excess wire. Proceed with Step 10

(see Figure 3).

9 When the terminations are completed,

push the provided stuffer caps over the

insulation-displacement contacts.

10 Turn the jack over and insert it into the

wall plate (see Figure 4). Apply light

pressure until it snaps into place.

Note 1: For residential applications, follow

the 568A or “A” color-code shown on the

back of the jack.

Note 2: When terminating a jack module in

either 4-, or 6-outlet wall plates, we

recommend that a jack be installed in

the adjacent corner to provide support

during the punchdown operation.

TIP – For Best Performance, Handle

Network Wiring Cable Carefully!

In twisted-pair network cabling (such as

category rated cable), the wire pairs are

twisted together because this helps prevent

a type of interference called near-end

crosstalk (NEXT). Anything that disrupts the

twisting can reduce network performance.

When installing network cable, don’t bend it

sharply (a bending radius of 1 inch or more

is recommended). Don’t use too much

force to pull cable (no more than 25

pounds of pulling force). Don’t strip more

jacket than is necessary to make

connections (terminations) — and don’t

untwist cable pairs more than 1/2" from the

termination point.
