2 – Installation
All InBox and OutBox devices are installed in exactly the same manner. They require the same fittings and wiring. The
items that are required for installation include:
o InBox or OutBox product
o Set of mounting screws
o Decora face plate
o Low voltage back box (not supplied)
o Terminated Cat-5 cable (not supplied)
Warning: Do not mount the InBox or OutBox in a fully enclosed junction box. The enclosed space can cause an
undesirable temperature increase. If there is no option but to use an enclosed junction box, it is recommended to
cut several holes or knockouts for ventilation.
2.1– Wiring
Note: It is recommended that the cables be laid in place prior to installing the InBox or OutBox product, as once they are
mounted into the junction box there is no access to the Ethernet connection without removing the device.
The InBox and OutBox products are PoE-enabled, so they receive their power over the Ethernet cable. This means the InBox
and OutBox products do not require any additional external power supply. Only a single Ethernet connection on the rear of
the unit is required and, even with the additional requirement of PoE, is wired using a standard Cat-5 cable and RJ45
connectors.
However, being PoE also means that the network infrastructure must support 802.3af PoE endpoints. All InBox and OutBox
products MUST be connected to either a PoE 802.3af compliant network switch or a high quality mid-span PoE injector.
Note: The maximum length of the cable from device to switch must not exceed 100m as per standard Ethernet
requirements.
