Surround IDS
Within the Clipsal 2000 series, there are surround IDs that
allow identification of a plate via a plug in ID number. Whilst it
does not identify single connections, i.e. individual sockets or
F-Type connectors, it can be useful to differentiate between
multiple plates within a single room.
Label Makers
Either used alone or in tandem with the ID systems, label
makers provide a simple and easy way of labeling each point
in the system. The labels are produced on a specialised tape
with a professional result.
Enclosure Identification
The StarServe Lite and Video systems require cable labeling
to be clear and distinct, whilst the StarServe Pro allows
labeling of each 8P8C socket, and therefore less requirement
for labeling on Category 5 cables.
The RG-6 cable in StarServe systems always require labeling,
as they may not necessarily be terminated on dedicated
ports. The labeling of each RG-6 cable within all StarServe
systems is achieved with a dedicated label maker, as these
labels will adhere to the cable. Using a label and clear heat
shrink over the cable is a good alternative.
Installation Tools
Coaxial Cable Stripper
This rotary type stripper allows the cutter depth to be fixed
for the size of cable being stripped.
Cable Cutters
Rounded blade cutters do not deform the cable.
F-Type Crimp Tool
Ensure that the jaws of the crimp tool cater for the specific
size F-Type crimp to be used.
Modular Crimp Tool
A modular crimp tool can be used for making or repairing
patch leads. Clipsal part no.
Clipsal Punch Down Tool
This is required for terminating Category 5 cables on wall
sockets and patch panels. The Clipsal 3100RJA5V is a
universal type punch down tool that is compatible with
different IDC connections.
