4. Installation (Front Mounting)

The Eaton 187083 is designed for front mounting, providing a clean, integrated look. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Prepare the Mounting Surface: Identify a suitable location for the receptacle. Ensure there is enough space behind the mounting surface for the 30 cm cable and its connection.
2. Create the Opening: Cut an appropriate-sized opening in the mounting panel. Refer to the product dimensions for precise measurements (e.g., 70 x 46 mm for the front face, though the cutout size will be slightly smaller).
3. Insert the Receptacle: Carefully insert the front of the USB receptacle into the prepared opening from the front of the panel. The flat front design should sit flush with the surface.
4. Secure the Receptacle: Use appropriate fasteners (not included, typically screws or clips depending on the panel design) to secure the receptacle firmly in place from the front or rear, ensuring it does not move.
5. Connect the Cable: Route the integrated 30 cm USB 3.0 cable to your host device (e.g., computer, hub, or other USB 3.0 compatible equipment). Ensure the connection is secure.
