Installation Variables

Before installing the GigaCenter, consider what additional services may be implemented.

Various access points are available on the back of the unit which may or may not be used.

Prior to determining the unit's final location, you need to account for the following variables:



Where will the telephone lines be routed?



Where will the Ethernet cables be routed?



What type of building material is used on the home? Make sure you have the appropriate

drills, drill bits and fasteners for routing subscriber services and/or power cables as they

pass through walls and the like.

Tabletop Mounting the GigaCenter

Calix GigaCenters can be mounted on a tabletop in a "tower" configuration using the

tabletop stand shipped with the product. Keep the following information in mind when

considering tabletop mounting:



Due to the likelihood of having exposed fiber on the tabletop, Calix recommends

connecting the unit to the GPON network using a shielded 5mm fiber pigtail with an SC-

APC connector on each end.



Due to component placement inside the chassis, do not install the GigaCenter on a

tabletop surface without using the tabletop stand.



Locate the GigaCenter on the desktop in a location that is unlikely to be bumped or

jostled.



Make sure that service wiring attached to the GigaCenter is secured properly and has

minimal sharp bends.



For RF capable units, make sure that undo stress is avoided when installing any coaxial

cables to the F-Connector on the GigaCenter.
