Looking for a Cat6A or Cat6 RJ45 plug that is:
Well documented
ANSI/TIA 568 Certified
...tested with real cables in the real world by real installers
Look no further, as you just found your plug!
Our Cat6/6A RJ45 plugs are to be used with unshielded (U/UTP) Ethernet cables, both stranded and solid conductors. The enhanced high visibility load bar design is where your frustration level will come down and success rate will increase. If you’ve ever dealt with the older style load bar plugs, then you are likely familiar with guessing at conductor trim length and the resulting trial and error. Drop that small load bar back into the bag of plugs? Good luck finding a clear ! Ours are green. We put thought into our plugs to make your life easier.
After stripping the cable jacket and combing out the individual conductors, line up the conductors into either T568A or T568B color sequence and rock the load bar onto the conductors. Don't force the load bar as it only goes in way. It will help greatly to make certain the conductors are as straight and even as possible, keeping the end of the cable jacket area "clean". Recheck the color sequence. Everything look good? Flush cut across the conductors, leaving 1" or more. Now slide the load bar down until there is an equal distance of conductor exposed from the end of the cable jacket to the rear of the load bar (equal distance, or as close as possible). Flush cut the conductors again at the front of the load bar. Our 5” Flush Cutters are ideal for this application. Push the assembly into the rear of the plug and get the cable jacket up as far as possible. The conductors will continue past the load bar to the end of the plug if correct. Crimp and terminate the plug onto your cable. Onto the next !
