5. PHYSICAL CABLING SPECIFICATIONS Component: Existing cabling is CAT 6 or greater for new installations. (CAT 5e is adequate for existing installations.) The cabling from router to connected access installation point is less than 300' cabling length. Patch Cable follows configuration (for router or switch) in Fig. 1 on the next page. Result (Circle) Yes / No Yes / No Yes / No Verified √: ❏ ❏ ❏ Action Needed If No, recabling using CAT 6 or greater is required. Consult with your service provider to replace the cable. If No, you need to adjust and shorten the distance between the internet router and the unit. Date Completed The outlet for the CAPX-system MUST be an external dedicated 120 Vac outlet. Refer to the table below for maximum wire run distances. This outlet should be wired back to its own 10 Amp minimum circuit breaker. WIRE SPECIFICATION 14 AWG MAXIMUM RUN DISTANCE Up to 300 feet (91.4 m) NOTE: Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduits. Conduits must be UL approved for low and high voltage. Refer to the NEC for additional wiring requirements. 16 AWG 18 AWG Up to 200 feet (60.9 m) Up to 100 feet (30.4 m) IMPORTANT: An earth ground rod is strongly recommended and should be no further than 12 feet (3.7 m) from the CAPX-system and use a minimum of 12 gauge wire in most cases. The type and length of earth ground rods vary by region. Contact the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) in the municipality where you plan to install the CAPX-system for correct grounding materials and installation procedures. A proper ground is critical to minimizing risk for the CAPX-system from damaging electrical transients. 6. ACCOUNT SETUP myQ COMMUNITY Action: 1a. For existing accounts, create a myQ Community. 1b.
