Stacking Junctions.L-stacking junctionincludes junction, fork connectors,vertical trim, andplastic trim aligner.T-stacking junctionincludes junction, fork connectors,vertical trim, andplastic trim aligner.X-stacking junctionincludes junction and forkconnectors..V-stacking junctionincludes junction, fork connectors,vertical trim, andplastic trim aligner.Y-stacking junctionincludes junction and forkconnectors.Full L, T, V, and end-ofrunvertical trim is availablethrough CustomerService Parts in 30", 42", 54",66", and 78" heights if a segmentedvisual on the trim isnot desired.Stacking change-ofheighttrim is used whenyou stack on a change-ofheightconfiguration. Thebottom edge of stackingtrim is straight so it can joinwith the top of the standardchange-of-height trim.Standard change-of-heighttrim is rounded at the bottomto fit around the topcap of the lower panel.cPage 317Standard skins, cabletrays, and powerkitsare used in stackable solutions.To maximize the benefitsof stackability, considermatching the skin height tothe stacking junction height.ConnectionsSkins on base panel donot need to be removedto install a stacking junctionin most cases.Fork ConnectorsFork connector is includedwith stacking junction forproper connection to thebase panel. Two fork connectorsare included witheach in-line, end-of-run, L,and V stacking junctions,three are included with Tand Y stacking junctions,and four are included with Xstacking junctions. One forkconnector is included witheach wall start stackingjunction...Fork connectors secureinto the base junction.Stacking junction is boltedto fork connectors.Wiring & CablingHorizontal routingthrough stacking junctions isaccommodated by openingsfor modular harnesses andcables. Openings at top ofbase and stacking junctionsaccept lay-in cable routing.During initial installation,it is important to keepcabling loose so it can betemporarily moved aside toinstall fork connector. Cablescan be put back in placeand routed through the forkconnector and stackingjunction..Fork connector engagesin the cable feed-throughnear the top of a junction.Because the fork connectoroccupies space in the cablefeed-through, only 10 cablescan be routed through theopening.Cable capacity betweenbase panel junction andstacking junction:40% Maximumfill fillCables 20 cat 5 50 cat 5only: cables cablesPowerkit installationfor stacking componentsis the same process as forinstallation in base panels..PanelsAnswer Solutions Specification Guide cStacking Junctions, continued 23
