Frequently Asked Questions - Pan-Punch 110 Panduit

What wire gauge does the Pan-Punch 110 support?

The Pan-Punch 110 supports 22-26 AWG solid or stranded wire with a maximum outer diameter of 0.050 in (1.27 mm).

Can I use stranded wire?

Yes, the Pan-Punch 110 terminates both solid and stranded IWC wire, as long as the outer diameter does not exceed 0.050 in and the insulation is PVC or Plenum rated.

What is the maximum cable outer diameter?

The maximum outer diameter for wires terminated by the Pan-Punch 110 is 0.050 inches (1.27 mm).

How high should I mount the base?

For a 300-pair system, the optimum height from floor to top of base is 68 inches. For a 100-pair base, you can reduce it to 43 inches.

What tools are needed for termination?

You can use the PDT110 single-wire punchdown tool or the PDT110M multi-pair punchdown tool to seat and cut wires to length.

How do I choose the correct connecting blocks?

Use a combination of 3, 4, and 5-pair connecting blocks to fill the wire strip completely. For example, five 5-pair blocks, or five 4-pair plus one 5-pair, etc.

What is the color code for pairs?

The standard 25-pair color code is used. For pair 1, tip is white/blue and ring is blue. The wire strip markings from left to right are white, red, blue, yellow, violet.

Is the Pan-Punch 110 Category 5e compliant?

Yes, provided that cable pairs remain twisted up to within 0.5 in (13 mm) of the termination point.

How do I install the label?

Write cable identification on the label, fold it, and slide it into the label holder. Then snap the holder into the base between rows of connecting blocks.

Are there any safety precautions?

Yes: never install during a lightning storm, avoid wet locations, and always disconnect the communication line at the network interface before touching uninsulated terminals.

USER MANUAL Pan-Punch 110 Panduit

CABLE REQUIREMENT: Terminates most 22-26 AWG solid or stranded IWC wire with a 0.050" (1.27mm) max. o.d., either PVC or Plenum rated.

LOCATION

Mounting a system at the right height will make wiring changes and additions cost efficient. The optimum height, from the floor to the top of a 300 pair Pan-Punch base, is 68 inches. If the customer needs don't exceed the wiring capacity of one base of 100 pair, the optimum distance from the floor to the top of the system can be reduced to 43 inches. This height will allow for expansion of 300 pair on top and 300 pair underneath.

INSTALLATION

1. Use appropriate mounting hardware to install base on desired surface as shown in Figure 1, 3/4" plywood is recommended. (Tip: Panduit lettering should be upright).
2. Route cables through slots in the base as shown in Figures 1a (4-pair installation) or 1b (25-pair installation). The wire strip color markings from left to right are white, red, blue, yellow, and violet.

3. Insert each pair into position in wire strip slots while maintaining the proper color sequence. Cable jacket end should be within 1/2" from where cable pairs are inserted. Cable pairs must remain twisted up to the point of connection for Category 5e installation.

4. Inspect cable pair color placement prior to using a PDT110 single wire punchdown tool or PDT110M multi-pair punchdown tool to seat and cut the pairs to length.

5. Position the connecting block over the wired base.

6. Secure the connecting block in place using the PDT110M multi-pair punchdown tool. It is important to keep the tool perpendicular to the base to ensure a good termination. Use a combination of 3, 4, and 5-pair connecting blocks to completely fill the wire strip, such as:

7. Five 5-pair connecting blocks

8. Five 4-pair connecting blocks and one 5-pair connecting block
9. Seven 3-pair connecting blocks and one 4-pair connecting block

CABLE REQUIREMENT: Terminates most 22-26 AWG solid or stranded IWC wire with a 0.050" (1.27mm) max. o.d., either PVC or Plenum rated.

1. Once the connecting blocks have been seated, cross-connect wires can be terminated to the top of the connecting blocks or Pan-Punch 110 patch cords can be installed. If cross-connecting, reference Fig. 3.
2. Add cable identification to the label, fold label, and slide it into the label holder. The label and label holder snap into position on the base in-between rows of connecting blocks as shown in Figure 4.

Notes:

1. Pan-Punch product terminates most 22-26 AWG solid or stranded IWC wire with a 0.050" (1.27mm) max. o.d., either PVC or plenum rated.
2. Never install wire into a slot previously used for a larger gauge.
3. Be careful to strip back cable jacket only as required for termination.
4. Use care to maintain pair twists to within 0.50" (13mm) of the termination strip.
5. When stripping cable jacket, be careful not to cut the insulation on the individual wires.
6. Avoid sharp bends when routing cable.

As with all Wiring Accessories, the following statements apply:

1. Never install communications wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install communications wiring in wet locations unless the product is specifically designed for use in wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated communications wiring or terminals unless the communication line has been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying communication wiring.
