QuickNetwork MDX88200 Distribution Panel
INSTALLATION GUIDE Description The MDX88200 Distribution Module provides distribution of four incoming telephone lines to eight locations via RJ45 ports, and one video signal to eight locations. The module also features a 15 dB amplifier and two coax pass-through connections for Satellite TV. This module requires six-inches of space in a QuickNetwork Rough-in Can. Please be sure to review this installation guide carefully prior to installing the module.

Important Warnings ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. Never install or work with telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for use in wet locations. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. An electrician should install an Earth Ground connection, to the threaded hole (PEM nut) provided in the bottom of the cabinet, and connect the AC outlet circuit in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Articles 110, 250 and 300. The electrical J Box must be installed with the four provided self-tapping screws.
Note: A poor picture can be the result of a signal that is either too low or too high. A signal that is too high will overpower the TV tuners resulting in poor picture quality. To maintain optimal video picture a 0dB to +10dB signal should be present at the plate location within each room. If the service line dB range is too high installing an attenuator will reduce the signal strength to the optimal range. Attenuators, which are available in the range of -3 to -20dB, should be placed between the incoming service and the distribution module. An attenuator can also be placed in the individual TV location if the signal strength off of the plate is too high.
Installing the MDX88200 Connecting TV Signal Connecting the amplifier 1. Connect the TV service input coax cable to the F connector labeled “RF IN”. Note: These signals can be either Cable TV, Antenna or a modulated video signal. 2. Connect a coax cable between the “PWR IN” port and the provided 15VDC transformer. Once the input and power cables have been connected the video signal will be distributed the video signal to all of the outputs on the module. Note: There are also two Pass through Aux. ports that can be use to pass satellite signals.

Connecting TV outlets to outputs 1. Remove the silver terminating caps ONLY from the ports that will be connected to outlet cables. Keeping the caps on an unused port, will help prevent unwanted video signals from entering your TV system. 2. Connect the outlet cables to the module. 3. Connect the incoming cables from the Satellite TV to the pass-through F connectors on the rear of the module. 4. Connect the outgoing satellite cables between the receiver and the front side of the module.
Installing Telephone Service Connecting Incoming Phone Lines 1. Route a CAT5E twisted pair cable between the NID (the NID or Network Interface Device is installed by the telephone service provider) and the distribution panel. 2. Identify the CAT5E wire running from the module to each of the rooms (premise wiring. 3. Trim back the PVC jacket on the incoming phone cable approximately ¾-inch (be sure to re-label if necessary) allowing for a bend radius of at least four times the diameter of the CAT5 telephone cable. 4. Separate the pairs from each other but do not untwist the pairs. Be sure to label each connection on the provided documentation template painted on the face of the module. Note: Do not untwist the conductors more than ½inch from the point of termination. 5. Following the 568A color code that is printed on the 110 connectors, punch down the incoming cables on the module’s 110 connectors. Start with the blue pair punch the cable down into the slots. 6. Punch down all the Cat5e cables in the same fashion, positioning and trimming each in order to maintain neatness. Note: Make sure that the Tip and Ring are properly connected to the 110 connector (punch down). In most cases the blue/white is first and then the white/blue. 7. Once the remaining cables have been connected (up to four lines) the incoming phone lines will be distributed to the outlet ports on the top side of the module.

Connecting outgoing telephone cables The outgoing RJ45 ports will accept cables with either RJ45 or RJ11 connectors. RJ45 termination is recommended so that the four line capability can be used. When terminating the cables follow the 568A standard. If you are installing a MDP3 patch module, connect a patch cord between the telephone outputs and the zones on the MDP3 patch module.
Connecting the module to a Security System If you are installing a security system you can use the RJ31X port on the underside of module to connect the security system. 1. After phone service has been connected to the module, route a CAT5 patch cord between the RJ31x port and the security system. 2. Cut the RJ45 connector off at the security system end and use the following diagram to connect the phone service to the security system and to the module.

RJ31X Layout
Separating Multiple Lines at the Room Location An LBO-1 Line Breakout Box will be required in order to redirect or access different lines at the room location. The LBO-1 plugs into an RJ45 connector on the plate and provides four RJ45 connectors that can be used to access each individual line by a 1 or 2 line phone. For example port 1 will access lines 1 and 2, port 2 will access lines 2 and 1, port 3 will access lines 3 and 4, and port 4 will access lines 4 and 3. The Pass Thru port is provided to allow you to chain multiple LBOs together or to allow an additional access point for line 1 and 2.
