GE1 or GE2 Cable Connection Through the Service Panel Base

Learn how to connect the GE1 or GE2 cable using the front or the rear holes on the sides of the service panel base or the large conduit hole on the metal sloping bracket.

About this task

The GE1 or GE2 cable is connected through the front or the rear holes on the sides of the service panel base.

The following hardware is required to attach the GE1 or GE2 cable through the service panel base hole:

  • GE1 or GE2 cable
  • One blank conduit cover to cover the front hole on the side of the service panel base
  • One 1 in. or ¾ in. conduit cover, depending on the circumference of the GE1 or GE2 cable
  • One or two blank conduit covers for the metal sloping bracket
  • Service panel base
  • Service panel top

Callout Description
A Blank conduit cover to cover the front hole on the side of the service panel base
B ¾ in. conduit cover
C ½ in. conduit cover

Procedure

  1. Using the blank conduit cover, cover the front hole of the service panel base.
  2. Attach either the ½ in. conduit cover or the ¾ in. conduit cover to the rear hole of the service panel base.
  3. Bring in the GE1 or GE2 cable, and the ground wire through the rear side hole of the service panel base.
  4. Loosely align the service panel base next to the metal sloping bracket, thereby leaving enough space to attach the GE1 or GE2 cable to the access point.
  5. Attach the ground wire to the access point.
  6. Remove the gland caps, plastic cage, and the gasket from the GE1 port.
    Note

    Note

    Put the removed parts onto the LAN cable to be attached to the access point later.
  7. Connect the GE1 LAN cable through the GE1 gland port until it clicks into place in the GE1 port.
    If there is a GE2 connection, insert the cable through the GE2 gland until it locks into place in to the GE2 port.
  8. Torque the gland cap to 12-in lbs.
  9. Fold and arrange the GE1 cable into the gap of the metal sloping bracket and the service panel base.
    The GE1 cable must not be bent sharply and must have 1 in. bend radius.
