Flush Mounting a Jack
 Before
You Flush Mount a Jack: The technique you use to
cut into a wall before flush mounting a jack depends
on what the wall is made of. It's important to use the
right technique. Check with your facilities administrator
before cutting into any walls to be sure you don't compromise
the safety or structural integrity of the building.
To mount a
jack in a box, first grasp
the cable and feed it into the box through one of the slots.
Then push the box into the wall opening you've cut. Tightening
screws at the top and bottom of the box grips it to the
wall surface.
To mount a
jack in a low-voltage mounting bracket, place the bracket
against the wall opening you've cut with the smooth side
facing out. Push the top and bottom flanges toward the
back and then up and down, respectively, so that the bracket
grips the wall.
Later, you'll
screw the cover plate into the box or bracket. Now the
cable's ready to be wired
to the jack.
