INTRODUCTION
This bulletin contains installation and wiring instructions for combination
telephone/video hubs (models SDM26P14V and SDM46P14V) and master
hub (model SDM46P) and expansion hub (model SDM48PX) telephone
modules supplied by Square D.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
HAZARD OF TELEPHONE RINGING VOLTAGE
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always disconnect telephone
lines at the Network Interface Device (NID) or contact your local
telephone company before installing or servicing the telephone
modules.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or
equipment damage.
RECOMMENDED PRE-WIRE SCHEMES
Structured wiring cables run from the wall boxes in the various rooms of the
house directly to the structured wiring enclosure (called home run wiring).
Two types of wire are used for communication and entertainment: CAT–5,
made up of 4–UTP (unshielded twisted pairs), and RG–6 coaxial. CAT–5
wires handle data for one to four telephone lines. CAT–5 wires can have two
to four unshielded twisted pairs. Square D recommends four pairs. RG–6
coaxial wires handle television (antenna or cable), satellite dish, cable
modem, or AV modulator signals.
See Table 1 for the recommended wiring schemes. These wires run from
the enclosure to the locations indicated in the table.

telephone and television splitter and accommodate incoming antenna and
CATV signals. The hubs incorporate 110 punch–down blocks for distributing
two phone lines (model SDM26P14V) or four phone lines (model
SDM46P14V) to six jack locations. See Figure 1.

TELEPHONE MODULE INSTALLATION
To install the combination, master, or expansion hub telephone modules,
follow steps 1–3. See Figure 3 for all steps.
1. Using the hook on the back of the module, hang the module on the
enclosure grid.
2. Swing the module into place, so that the back of the module is flat
against the enclosure grid.
3. Push the button on the right side of the module to lock the module into
the enclosure grid.

WIRE INSTALLATIONS
Master Hub (SDM46P) and Expansion Hub (SDM48PX) Modular Connectors
Modular connectors (see Figures 5 and 6) are attached to each end of a
CAT–5 jumper cable, included with SDM48PX. The connectors provide
additional connections to telephone wall plates using the telephone lines
coming in through the master hub. One connector is inserted into the OUT
expansion port of the master hub and one connector is inserted into the IN
expansion port of the expansion hub. See Figure 2.
Six–position modular connectors are used on the jumper cables to connect
to the telephone wall plates. There are three six–position connector models,
depending on the number and usage of lines. See Table 2 for model
selection and Figures 4 and 5 for wiring configurations.
Eight–position modular connectors (RJ–45 jacks) are used on the jumper
cables to connect to the telephone wall plates. For residential purposes, it is
recommended that the eight–position connectors are wired using the
T568A wiring scheme. See Figure 6.

Wiring a 110 Punch–down Connector
CAUTION
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Use only a 110 punch-down tool. If any other tools are used to push
the wire into the connector, the wire may be seated improperly and
contacts can be damaged.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment
damage.
The 110 punch-down connector is an insulation displacement connection
system. To push the wire into the connector, use only a 110 punch-down
tool.
When wiring the connector, keep the wire cable sheath close to the
connector and do not untwist the wire more than 0.5 in. (12.7 mm). For
wiring the 110 connector, see Figures 4 and 7.

Wiring a CAT–5 Jack
Follow steps 1–3 to wire an RJ-45 jack with CAT-5 wiring. For wire
installation, follow the wire color code for the RJ-45 modular connector. See
Figures 6 and 10.
1. Position the first pair to the terminals closest to the end of the jack. Do
not untwist conductor pairs more than 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) from the
termination point.
2. Using a 110 punch–down tool, push wires into terminals and trim.
Repeat for remaining pairs.
3. Snap on strain relief caps.
