Connectors are used)
2.0 3M™Indoor Building Entrance Terminal Location and Mounting
2.1 Choose a location for the terminal according to your
company’s standard operating procedures. Consider
the following points:
a) Locate the terminal inside the building as close
as possible to cable entrance.
b) Locate the terminal on a firm mounting surface
where it will be accessible to the technicians
at all times; where it can be reached without
a ladder; and where it will not project in a
hazardous manner.
c) Observe caution when exposing the terminal to
chemicals in liquid or vapor form as they may
damage the plastic components.
CAUTION
Avoid locations near flammable materials, ignitable gases,
dust, moisture, temperature extremes, moving machinery,
electric light and power circuits, and electrical equipment.
2.2 Open the splicing chamber by loosening the screws securing the splicing chamber door. Open the splicing
chamber door.
2.3 Pull the preterminated short stub, insulated ground wire, and accessories out of the splicing chamber.
2.4 Mount the terminal in designated position with the three
mounting screws provided.

3.0 Feeder Cable Preparation and Strain Relief
3.1 Feeder cable diameters for the 3M™Indoor Building Entrance Terminal (IBET) 4588V-QCS Series
Minimum Diameter Maximum Diameter
Entrance Cable 0.42" (10.7 mm) 1.45" (36.8 mm)
If the cable diameter is smaller than the minimum, use Scotch®Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C to build up to the minimum.
3.2 Run the feeder cable 24" (610 mm) past the
3M™Indoor Building Entrance Terminal (IBET) cable
entry port.
3.3 Slide the 3M™Pull ’N’ Shrink Tube (PST) on the end
of the cable with the pull-tab away from the IBET and
temporarily keep it out of the way.
3.4 With the groove toward the IBET and long end toward
the cable, snap the cable gland halves around the
cable. Slide the gland into the entry port of the IBET.
3.5 Measure 2" (51 mm) of sheath past the gland inside
the IBET. Pull the gland and cable out of the IBET. 2"
3.6 Remove the sheath, leaving at least 21" (533 mm) of
free conductor length. Identify and secure the cable
groups ends. Bond the cable shield according to your
company’s practice.
3.7 Insert the gland’s groove into the cable port. Slide the
PST over the gland and slowly unwind the core. The
PST core fits over either the small diameter of the 25
-to 50-pair gland or butts up against the 3M™Indoor
Building Entrance Terminal (IBET) 4588V-QCS
Series for the 100-pair gland.
3.8 Complete the PST core removal over the gland.
3.9 The blank plate MUST be used in the empty cable
port for UL Listing.
3.10 Attach the cable to the wall according to your
company’s practice.
4.0 Terminal Grounding
4.1 Fasten a #6 AWG wire to the ground bar, which is
located on the front of the unit. Connect the other
end of the ground wire to local ground per company
standards.
Note: Failure to properly bond and ground the
terminal per N.E.C. or local equivalent codes
may render protection arrestors useless.

5.0 Splicing
5.1 Splice the feeder cable group(s) to the appropriate 3M™Terminal Block Tail(s) per your company’s practice.
5.2 Bundle completed 3M™Splice Module(s) and secure them with 3M™Cable Ties within the splice chamber.
5.3 Close the splice chamber cover and secure the lock plate bolt.
6.0 Running Jumpers—3M™Quick Connect System (QCS) 2811 Block
6.1 Open the feeder pair jumper cap by pushing up on the
latch and rotating up. Insert jumper wire ends A (tip)
left and B (ring) right into wire openings in the cap,
making sure they are inserted all the way to the back
of the cap.
6.2 While holding the jumper wires in place, close the cap
and press to snap the latch firmly into place.
6.3 Route the jumper wires to the distribution pair
through wire loops on the block ends and through
vertical and horizontal wireways. Cut jumper wires
to appropriate length, leaving at least 2" (51 mm) of
slack.
6.4 Terminate the jumper wires to the distribution pair by
repeating the procedure described in steps 6.1 and 6.2.
6.5 Terminate additional jumper wires by repeating the
above procedure.
6.6 To remove jumper wires, open the cap and pull the
wires straight out from block.
6.7 Route the wire below the connected cap.

7.0 Installing the Electrical Protectors
Note: Use ONLY UL Recognized or Listed protectors
in the 3M™Indoor Building Entrance
Terminal (IBET).
7.1 The 3M™Indoor Building Entrance Terminal (IBET)
4588V Series uses a standard five pin protector
receptacle field. The long pins of the protector
connect Tip and Ring from the feeder cable though
the protector to the short pins to the distribution/house
wire.
7.2 Insert protectors into the protector receptacle field
according to your company’s practice.
7.3 To disconnect the distribution wire, pull the protector
out to the detents on the long pins to hold it in place.
This continues to protect from the feeder cable side.
8.0 Protective Cover – 4588VTPC and 4588VSTPC
8.1 With the cover closed, the exposed hasp allows for
locking when security is required.
9.0 3M™Single Pair Test Probe 2827
9.1 Plug the test probe into the cap of the pair being tested,
with the black lead to the left and the red lead to the
right.

10.0 3M™Priority Caps
10.1 Priority caps are used to designate special purpose
circuits and prevent entry of the 3M™Single Pair Test
Probe.
10.2 To install priority caps, place over the jumper cap of the
pair to be marked and push it into place. Latching is
indicated by an audible snap.
11.0 Multiple 3M™Indoor Building Entrance Terminal (IBET) 4588VTP, 4588VSTP,
4588VTPC and 4588VSTPC Installation
Note: Use this application when the required cable
pair capacity exceeds the capacity of a single
IBET.
11.1 The design of the splice chamber and the grooved cable
glands make it possible to stack the IBET vertically,
up to three of the same cable pair count and within the
diameter limits in the chart in 3.1.
11.2 Mounting the IBET
a) Mount the IBET bodies using the cable glands
to position them.
b) Assemble the feeder cable strain relief
according to Section 3.0 and prepare the feeder
cable so that 21" (533 mm) of free conductor
length will be in the last IBET.
