To prepare the Ethernet cable and plug-in field:
1
Prepare the gland and insert the cable, as described in
General Installation Procedure
2
Strip off approximately 45 mm of the outer insulation jacket from the CAT5E cable.
3
Do not strip off the end of the cable shield, but rather, twist the shield to form a braid.
4
Roll back the foil shield insulation and wrap the drain wire around the foil. Do not remove any
insulation from the conductors.
5
Align the colored wires.
Note
Cord colors should be matched to the same pins on both ends of the cable
6
Trim all wires to the same length. About 12 mm on the left should be exposed from the inner sheath.
7
Separate the wires and place the twisted braid between the separated wires.
8
Insert the wires into the RJ45 plug. Verify that each wire is fully inserted into the front of the RJ45
plug and in the correct order, according to the pinouts shown in Section
Specifications on page 4-11
. The sheath of the Ethernet cable should extend into the plug by about
13 mm and held in place by the crimp.
9
Extend the cable jacket with the shield into the connector about 5 mm for strain relief and shielding
connection.
