Connecting a Horizontal Link to Termination Hardware
This is where the horizontal link would be punched down to termination
hardware in the physical infrastructure. In the HL Hardware Sequence
tab, three radio buttons are available:
• No Consolidation Point - Most Horizontal Links are made with No
Consolidation Point. This is the case with a simple data connection
from a faceplate in a workspace to termination hardware (a Patch
Panel or Wiring Block) in a Telecommunication Space.
• Consolidation Point - A Consolidation Point is rarely used. When it
is, it is used to bring a high pair count cable from Termination
Hardware in the Closet (Patch Panel or Wiring Block) to a central
location in the ceiling (column, office furniture, under the floor)
terminated in Termination Hardware.
• Cross Connect w/CP - A Consolidation Point with Cross-Connect
uses two pieces of termination hardware to connect the large pair
cable from the Closet to a small pair cable at the Faceplate with the
cross-connect in-between.
Identifying Horizontal Link Pathways Used
Establish Pathways first using the Pathways tab. See “Adding a Pathway”
on page 4-26 and then do the following:
Step 1 On the Horizontal Link, click the Pathways Used tab.
Step 2 Click the Add button in the Detail area.
Step 3 The Select Location window appears. Select the Pathway the
Horizontal Link will use.
Step 4 Click Accept. Pathway information populates the form.
