Figure 2-8 — Attaching a mud ring to a wall

If you are using a wall box

, insert the wall box into the

opening, and attach it to the wall stud/furniture with nails
or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall
or furniture surface (figure 2-9).

If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10
screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of 1/2 inch (1.3 cm)
of screw threads must penetrate the wood.

If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use
four #8 or #10 self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine
bolts with matching nuts.

If you are using a wall box

, feed cables through the wall

box punch-out holes, and secure them with cable clamps
to provide strain relief.

Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources
of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with
heat shrink (figure 2-7).

Figure 2-7 — Grounding outer braided and foil
shields

To prevent short circuits, cut back the outer foil
shield to the point where the cable exits the cable
clamp. Both braided and foil shields should be
connected to an equipment ground at the other end
of the cable.
