Trim-Out and Finish

With the cable run to the outlet, you can now trim out the installation.

1) Insert the Bracket

Most brackets are meant to install directly to the drywall. Place the cable through the bracket and insert the brack-

et in the wall. Insert the ‘feet’ at the bottom of the bracket so as to trap the drywall and the bracket. Tighten the

attachment screw until the foot is firmly set. Repeat this process with the upper foot.

2) Attach the Cable to the Faceplate

Outlet faceplates will vary according to the cable type:

Coax faceplates require that you terminate the cable with a connector and then screw that connector to the fe-

male connection on the faceplate. To prevent cable twisting, turn the faceplate when attaching it to the connector,

or just make sure that you are turning only the hex nut of the connector and not the connector itself.

UTP data faceplates require you to connectorize the cable to the jack. This is usually a separate component

that snaps into the faceplate. Connectorize the cable like you did the jack on page 9.11, making sure you follow

the same TIA568 pattern at all locations.

Telephone jacks usually require you to strip back the insula-

tion and screw the wires into marked locations on the back

of the faceplate.

3) Trim Out the Hole

Once the cable is connectorized and attached, carefully

place the excess cable into the hole, making sure that you

do not exceed the bend radius or crimp the cable in any

way.
