Installing and Operating the Module 3 - 13
Using 90° Cable Connectors
3Com recommends that you use 180° connectors with the 5124M-TPCL
model. Because of the proximity of the two connectors, you must follow
the special steps described below if you decide to use 90° (right-angle)
connectors.
This section describes:
❑ Installing the Cable Tie-Wrap Kit
❑ Securing 90° Cables to the Module
Installing the Cable Tie-Wrap Kit
A cable tie-wrap kit is included with the 24-Port Module. If you use a cable
connector other than a 180° cable connector (for example, a 90° cable
connector), you must secure the cable to the module connector using the
tie-wrap kit.
The tie-wrap kit contains:
❑ Kit card containing kit part number
❑ 1 Phillips-head screw
❑ 1 Tie-wrap bracket
❑ 3 Tie-wraps
To install the tie-wrap kit:
1. Remove the hex nut from the bottom of the connector located on
the module faceplate.
2. Using the Phillips-head screw provided in the tie-wrap kit, attach the
tie-wrap bracket to the module (Figure 3-4).
