The SYSTIMAX 360™1100GS3 (Cat 6) and 1100GS6 (Cat 6A) Evolve modular panels exceed ISO and TIA
Performance Category standards. The performance category is identified by the color of the jacks. Jacks with
gray jack housings are Category 6A (GS6) and jacks with black jack housings are Category 6 (GS3). The
SYSTIMAX 360 1100GS3 (Cat 6) and 1100GS6 (Cat 6A) Evolve modular panels and can be used for EIA-T568A
or EIA-T568B wiring applications and are available in 24-port and 48-port flat and angled versions.
SYSTIMAX 360 InstaPATCH®fiber modules can be used in the 1100GS 24-port and 48-port flat panels when
the separately orderable Evolve fiber bezels, rear cable management bar, and front cable trough are utilized.
The 1100GS Evolve panels are available iPatch®ready. For instructions on using panels in an iPatch
application, see 860516491 iPatch®Upgrade Module Instructions for SYSTIMAX 360 Panels.
Panel kits are available unpopulated for use with separatelyordered modules.

Step 1 –Mount Panel to Rack
1. Mount panel to rack using the four 12-24 mounting screws provided. After securing panel to rack, snap the
Evolve cover(s) onto the front of the panel.
Note: Verify the SYSTIMAX name is upright on the flat panel cover and on angled panel center cover
before snapping in place. These two covers can be installed upside down. Side covers on angled panel are
interchangeable and are not side specific.
Instructions for Installing Copper Components in Panel (See Page 7 for
Installing Fiber Components)
Step 2 –Populate Panel with Distribution Modules (For Panel Kits Only)
Note: Distribution modules are ordered separately.
1. From the rear side of the panel, insert the front face of the module into the desired panel opening. Press
firmly until both the left and right side module snaps fully engage with the panel. When installing modules in
either of the two end positions, it is necessary to engage the outermost snap first.
Step 3 –Terminate Conductors on Rear of Panel
T568 Wiring Diagram Termination Manager
Note: The module comes with a T568B wiring designation label installed. If T568A wiring is desired, first

Step 5a –Populate Panel with Fiber Modules
1. Orient module in ALPHA or BETA position as required and insert into one of the openings in the panel.
2. Push module into opening until latches engage with an audible click.
3. Repeat for remaining modules.
Step 6a –Install and Route Fiber Trunk Cables
1. Terminate MPO connectors into modules.
2. Slip fiber routing clips over fiber management bar at equally spaced positions, similar to as shown above.
3. Spread open a slot position provided on fiber routing clip and secure fiber cable inside.
4. Repeat until all cables are inserted in the clips and adjust position of clips as necessary to hold the trunk
cables in an organized manner.

1 Patch Panel Termination Manager Instructions
The termination managers provide pair positioning, control,
and strain relief features to the rear termination area of the
panel. See Figure 1. Instructions for using the termination
manager are listed below.
Feed Pairs into Termination Manager (Figure 2)
1. Trim jacket back at least 3 inches (76mm) to expose
twisted pairs.
2. Without crossing over or rearranging pairs out of
the jacket, position pairs in-line per pair colors below:
T568B Wiring Application (Shown)
Blue, Brown, Orange, Green
T568A Wiring Application
Blue, Brown, Green, Orange
3. Insert pairs through 4 holes on top surface of termination
manager, one pair per hole, as shown.
4. Continue to feed pairs through termination manager until
resistance is encountered at the jacket. This will usually be
about 1/4 inch (6mm) from the jacket.
Fold Pairs into Slots (Figure 3)
5. Fold each pair over into adjoining slots on bottom end of
termination manager. Conductor colors must be arranged
in the slots as listed below:
T568B Wiring Application (Shown)
BL/OR Pairs –Blue/Orange conductors on top
BR/GR Pairs –both White conductors on top
T568A Wiring Application
BL/GR Pairs –Blue/Green conductors on top
BR/OR Pairs –both White conductors on top
Important: Add twist as needed to align pairs with
slots. Never remove twist for any pair. Do not allow
pairs to untwist inside termination manager or inside
cable jacket.
6. Ensure that both conductors of each pair are in slots
completely without being pinched over bottom end surface.

Snap Termination Manager onto Rear Housing
(Figure 4)
7. Snap assembled termination manager onto rear
housing with pair colors in proper position. Push on
using the termination manager housing, not by
pushing with the cable. (Ensure that both lock tabs on
manager fully seat into rear housing).
8. After termination manager is snapped onto rear
housing, untwist individual pairs fully and line up
correct color conductor and white conductor with the
label on the rear housing.
Seat Wires into IDC Terminal Slots
(Figure 5)
9. Grasping each untwisted pair, push the conductors
down into IDC terminal slots to seat them before
punching down. Seat down into slots as far as
possible. (It may be easier to use needle nose pliers
to perform this task).
10. Using the D-914 punch tool with M110 blade on
HI impact setting, punch down conductors making
sure the tool is straight and that conductors fully
engage in the IDC terminals. Stagger the punch-down
tool up and down, so that it stays in alignment with
the staggered terminal slots.
Recommendations to Aid Assembly
1. The termination manager should be snapped onto the
rear housing immediately after the pairs have been
fed and folded over into the slots. All termination
managers should be installed on the panel before
proceeding to seat and punch down conductors.
2. Flex cables down for easier access, then seat and
punch down the entire top row of the panel.
3. Flex cables up for easier access, then seat and
punch down the entire bottom row.
