How to Install Black Box JPM4000 Series NEMA-4 Rated Fiber Optic Wallmount Enclosure
- 1. Plan the installation: Select a dry, stable wall location with sufficient space for four adapter panels, a mounting area for a splicing tray, and convenient cable routing to enter and exit the enclosure.
- 2. Prepare the mounting surface: For masonry walls (cinder block, concrete), use appropriate anchors and screws rated for the wall material and the weight of the enclosure when populated with panels and cables. Ensure the surface is clean and free of obstructions.
- 3. Mark and drill anchor points: Hold the enclosure in place and mark the anchor point locations. Drill pilot holes and install masonry anchors if mounting to brick or concrete surfaces. For wood or drywall-backed walls, use suitable hardware (not included) rated for wall thickness and load.
- 4. Mount the enclosure: Secure the JPM4000 to the wall with the appropriate fasteners, ensuring the door remains accessible and the enclosure sits flush against the surface. Tighten screws evenly to maintain the gasket seal and preserve environmental protection.
- 5. Plan internal layout: Arrange fiber adapter panels and route cables to the splicing tray area. Remove knockouts as needed to accommodate entry and exit paths for fiber lines, ensuring smooth bends and avoiding strain on the connectors.
- 6. Install adapter panels and splicing tray: Install up to four adapter panels in the designated slots. Mount the splicing tray in its allotted area, secure with any included hardware, and neatly organize splices and pigtails to minimize excess cable length inside the enclosure.
- 7. Route and label cables: Route incoming and outgoing fiber cables using cable managers or ties to prevent tangling. Label each fiber leg for easy identification during maintenance or future expansions.
- 8. Seal and verify: Close the gasketed door, engage the hex nut lock, and confirm that the seal remains intact to protect against dust and moisture. Perform a basic integrity check to ensure all panels are securely fastened and that there is no excessive movement of panels or cables.
- 9. Documentation and testing: Document the installed configuration, including panel positions and fiber identifiers. If applicable, run a basic continuity or insertion loss test to verify proper terminations before commissioning the network.
