Fitting IE FC cable 2 x 2 with an IE FC RJ-45 plug 180 2x2
Introduction
The individual steps required to assemble a 4-wire IE FC cable and an IE FC RJ-45 plug 180
are explained below.
Note
Fitting the IE FC RJ-45 plug 90 and the IE FC RJ-45 plug 145
The figures show how to fit an IE FC RJ-45 plug 180. To fit the IE FC RJ-45 plug 145 and
the IE FC RJ-45 plug 90, the procedure is analogous
Refer to the information in this section "Industrial Ethernet FastConnect stripping tool
(Page 8)" and the installation instructions for the plug.
Note
Instructions for assembly
The insulation-piercing contacts of the IE FC RJ-45 plug can be released and recontacted
up to 10 times.
Once the ends of cables have made contact, do not make contact with them again but cut
them off.
Do not pull on the plug when releasing it.
To assemble a cable with crossed over wires, connect the color-coded wires at one end
of the cable in the connector as shown below:
–
connect white with yellow
–
connect blue with orange
Connector pinout
With the four integrated insulation piercing contacts, establishing contact with the FC cable
variants is simple and error-proof. With the casing open, colored markers on the contact
cover make it simple to connect the cores to the insulation piercing contacts. The transparent
synthetic material of the contact cover allows the user to check the contacts at any time.
