Wall plates - the installation

Decided to go through and fit off some of the wires with the connectors and wall plates. The starter kit provides everything you need and includes some pretty decent instructions, however I've also taken my own photos (below). Hope you find them useful!

The above picture shows the hole cut in the wall where the hanger was located prior to the plaster going on. If you are putting these in yourself, make sure you put marks on the floor so you can find the right spot - all of our hangars were centred 300mm in height from the floor.

Here's a close up of the markings on the LexCom cable

After pulling the cable through, strip off 5 cm of the outer cover - revealing the shield.

Pull the shield back.

Separate the 3 pairs of wires

Strip off the shield from each pair of wires

The connector comes in two parts

Slide the cover over the cable and push it past the braid

Open the connector - note the colour coding on one side

... and the colour coding on the other side

Push the connector over the coloured wires

Now seat each of the wires into the correct slot, making sure to follow the guide pins

Now firmly close the connector - push hard until you hear the click. The connector automatically cuts into the wires with the pins.

Trim the excess wire close to the connector

Trim the braid (Shielding) and slide the cap on until it clicks into place

This shot shows the connector installed in the wall plate, before the cover plate is clipped in place.

The next series of photos show what I did with the wall plates.

Wall plate come with one small plastic pop-off, under which you can put an identification number. I printed numbers for each port using the label maker.

You can see the small place for the number above the connector hole

Numbers in place on the 4-port wall plate

Numbers on the two port plate - note the adapter which goes into each plate. The connector clips into the adapter.

Each of the wall plates also has a cover plate which is clipped onto the wall plate after the wall plate is screwed onto the wall.
