Install DeviceBox Taps The DeviceBox tap contains terminal blocks that connect the trunk line and as
many as eight drop lines. It is used only with round media. Gland nuts secure
the cables entering the ports of the DeviceBox tap.To attach a DeviceBox tap:
1. Cut the required lengths from reels of trunk line using a sharp cable
cutter providing sufficient length in each segment to reduce tension at
the connection.
2. Insert conductors into the terminal block clamping cavities, following
the color coding specified for the terminal blocks at the incoming and
outgoing thick cables and as many as eight thin cables.
3. Tighten all clamping screws to secure conductors to the terminal blocks.
4. Seal unused ports with nylon plugs and nuts in the accessory kit.
5. Tightly secure the cover to the enclosure.
IMPORTANT
Cover the bare drain wire in the enclosure with the
insulating tubing supplied in the accessory kit.
