Installing the NJ225
7
• Make sure the distance between the back of the IntelliJack and the inside of 
the wall or cubicle opening is at least 25mm to maintain an acceptable bend 
radius on the cable.
• To ensure proper horizontal cabling functionality, adhere to the following 
standards during installation:
n
ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 
Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard
n
ANSI/TIA/EIA-569
Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways and 
Spaces
n
BRITISH STANDARD INSTITUTE (BSI): BS 4664:1970
The network cabling at your site (from the wiring closet to the wall or cubicle 
opening) may already be installed. If it is not, install the cabling following these 
general guidelines.
Setting up the Power
Supply
Power to the IntelliJack can be supplied one of the following ways:
• Over the network via an integrated switch that supports Power Over Ethernet.
• Over the network via a 3Com multi-port midspan power supply (3CNJPSE24).
• Over the network via a single-port Ethernet power supply.
• Locally via a 3Com local power supply.
NOTE: The NJ225 is designed to be mounted using the provided mounting 
plate or many after-market faceplates. However, some after-market faceplates 
stand out from the wall and do not provide a secure mounting surface for the 
IntelliJack.  In such cases, it is recommended to place the 3Com spacer between 
the IntelliJack and the after-market face plate.
NOTE: It is recommended that a professional cable installer perform these 
procedures. Be sure to adhere to local safety and regulatory codes during the 
cable installation.
NOTEPower Over Ethernet, also known as in-line power, is a method to 
provide power to equipment over an Ethernet cable, allowing a device to 
receive both data and power from the same network cable. The NJ225 is ideally 
powered by a switch that is IEEE 802.3af-compliant. The NJ225 can also be 
powered by some switches that are not 802.3af-compliant. Consult the 3Com 
web site for more information.
