– RJ45 IDC TERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
- The supplied RJ45 IDC connector (GDI Part No. 24CA7401) allows field
termination of RJ45 connections by using insulation displacement connection (IDC) technology.
Instructions for terminating the IDC connector can be found by unfolding the package that the connector
is shipped in. Video assembly instructions can also be found on the manufacturer's website at
www.HARTING.com/RJIndustrial10G. The following illustrations provide an overview of termination using
this connector.
Figure 2-6
– Slide the black plastic body
over the cable before beginning. Strip 24-
26mm of outer sheathing. Trim shielding
foil, leaving 14-16 mm of wire exposed.
Insert wires following 568B as indicated on
the label.
Figure 2-7
– Trim upper 4 wires flush
with end of slots. Carefully fold down
the connector to terminate the wires.
While folding ensure that each wire is
terminated and punctured by the gold
connector pins.
Figure 2-8
– Place body clamp over
the terminated connection until it
clicks. If shield wire is present, wrap
around shield foil or mesh to ensure
proper shielding.
Figure 2-9 - Slide the plastic body
forward until it clicks onto the
connector. Slide the plastic nut
forward and tighten it to provide
strain relief.
