Fitting IE FC cable 2 x 2 with an IE FC RJ-45 plug 180 4x2
Introduction
The individual steps required to assemble a 4-wire IE FC cable and an IE FC RJ-45 plug 180
4x2 are explained below.
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 4x2 can be released and
recontacted with the same cable cross section 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
Procedure
1.
In the stripping tool, use the green
knife cassette (5.1 mm).
2.
If necessary, adjust the cutting
depth of the knife cassette using the
middle socket-head screw.
3.
Take the stripping tool in your right
hand.
4.
Measure the cable length against
the measuring template. Use your
left index finger as the limit stop.
Note: If the stripping tool has an older
measuring template, add the new
measure (38 mm from the edge of the
stripping tool).
5.
Place the cable in the stripping
tool. The index finger of your left
hand is the limit stop.
6.
Tighten the stripping tool.
