2 twisted pairs, 5.5mm diameter
Connectors
Shielded 8-way RJ45 plugs
Connect the pins in pairs as shown.
Comb out the braided shield, fold the strands back and trap them under
the cable clamp to ensure good electrical contact with the clamp.
Do not use unshielded plugs.
Use RS Component part no 290-4780 for shielded
connector 5.7mm, or
Use RS Component part no 342-2087 for shielded
connector 6.6mm
