9.5. Termination Works

 Conduct a briefing to the team prior to start of work.

 Barricade work area and provide all safety and warning signs.
 Connect the cables using cable lugs and appropriate labels.
 Terminating Cat 6 & Fiber connections involves attaching RJ45 connectors to the ends of
the cables, while testing involves checking each connection for proper functionality and
signal strength.
 Connect the cables to the controller and tighten the screw. Make sure the labels are
clearly visible.
 Connect the 230 V power cable to the transformer from the Power point using GI
Flexible cable.

9.6. Testing & Commissioning Works

 When all the cables are connected, workers need to barricade the area and proper signage
to ensure no one touch the panel before authorized vendor perform the job.
