When looking at the conductor color sequence, be sure you understand the orientation of the plug itself! Yes, it is quite possible to get the sequence correct and put the plug upside down. Once you have those conductors lined up, keep pressure on them, so they don't get out of order on you.Just be sure to use the same sequence at both ends of the cable unless you want to create a cross-over cable. You can use either T568A or T568B for your sequence.I like to work from the top down (if I can)-White-orange at the top and solid brown at the bottom. Locate a good spot, about 1.5 to 2" away from the cable jacket, to flush cut the conductors. Less neat = more difficulty putting on the connector. Keep the cable jacket area "clean" and neat. Put the conductors into the proper color sequence.
Ready to put into either T568A or T568B sequence. The straighter they are, the easier it will be for you to put the connector onĪll straightened out.Don't use too much pressure, as you are liable to remove the conductor insulation right off the copper. Work the conductors individually, starting at the end of the cable jacket and going to the ends.The glove and metal rod will make this much faster and far less painful.In other words, right down to the cable jacket but no further.Īll untwisted.but how do you get the kinks out? Remember that glove and metal rod? Check to be certain the conductors are untwisted as much as practical, but not more than necessary. Skip about the last 1/4" of cable jacket when applying the strip.
Don't accidentally nick a conductor or cut off the ESD drain wire in this process!Īpply a copper fabric strip. If you would like to see how this process works by using the cable shield for bonding instead of the drain wire and copper fabric strip, How To: Terminate a Shielded Cat6/6A External Ground Pass Through RJ45 Connector will give you a good demonstration of that technique.įully cut off the waterproof tape. Either way will work, but the fabric strip makes it easier. We will remove the cable shield and wrap the drain wire around the cable jacket and tack it down with one of the copper fabric strips for this demonstration. Fold the cable shield backward, and then you will use the cable shield as the bonding point. The first way is to NOT remove the cable shield but snip off the ESD drain wire. There are essentially two ways of bonding the cable shield to this internal ground plug. Don't accidentally cut off the ESD drain wire in this process, as you will need it. Make a tiny nip in the cable shield and remove it. If you see any, you may have nicked a conductor. Check for slices in the cable shield near the cable jacket edge. They are much tougher than plain copper strips and do not add to your cable's overall thickness! The copper fabric strips are copper-infused fabric with a permanent conductive adhesive. Recommended additional accessory to make termination of the cable shield a lot easier:
All-In-One trueCABLE RJ45 Crimp & Termination tool (trueCRIMP).This cable has been fitment and performance tested when using our Cat5e Shielded Pass Through Plugs. We will demonstrate this termination with trueCABLE Cat5e Shielded Direct Burial Ethernet cable. A great resource is Selecting the Correct Connector.įor those who would like to understand more about RJ45 plugs and why there can be such a great deal of confusion surrounding them, please read What is an RJ45 Connector?Įnough of that! Let's jump right into terminating, shall we? If your Ethernet cable is of a different brand, you need to ensure fitment. We stamp a Category on the bag because we go the extra step of confirming fitment and performance with our cable. The whole "category" label is very misleading unless the cable and RJ45 plug are both made and tested by the same manufacturer, as is the case with trueCABLE. Metal bonding leafs on the rear inside of the plugĬan you use our Cat5e shielded internal ground plug on another manufacturer's cable? Sure, but first, you should make certain that your cable will fit onto our RJ45 plug. Very well documented, so there is no guesswork on fitment.Easy to bond your cable shield and/or drain wire to the metal plug housing.Standard, solid-nose plugs can make life a bit harrowing for the installer with their "guess, cut, try" technique. Ability to handle any trueCABLE Cat5e shielded cable.
