Installation Guide
Introduction
The Rackmount Balun Chassis 16 is designed as a head-end cable management
solution, allowing any combination of up to sixteen (16) MuxLab square baluns to be
installed in a standard 19” telecom relay rack. Head-end AV equipment such as DVD
players, video servers and cable boxes may be installed in a local wiring closet and
connected to the Cat5 structured cabling system via a wide array of MuxLab balun
solutions.
The baluns may be installed in either front or rear- facing orientation depending on the
application. At the display end, the appropriate MuxLab baluns are installed at the
receivers to support a fully Cat5 cabling solution. Each balun snaps into place and is
held firmly by a spring latching mechanism. The product features a rugged one-piece
design for ease of installation and maintenance.
