TD168F ACT Field Termination Plug RJ45 CAT6A Shielded

Step 1: Components

The following components are included:

• ACT TD168F RJ45 plug housing
• Protective boot
• Connector insert
• Copper foil tape (dimensions: 30mm length, 10mm width)

Step 2: Cable Preparation

Slide the protective boot onto the Ethernet cable. Ensure it is positioned correctly for later attachment.

Step 3: Jacket and Shield Stripping

Strip the outer jacket of the cable to a length of approximately 30mm.

For S/FTP cables, carefully strip the foil shield to approximately 10mm, exposing the twisted pairs.

For U/FTP.F/UTP cables, strip the foil to approximately 10mm.

Step 4: Apply Copper Foil Tape

Wrap the copper foil tape around the cable jacket, starting from the edge of the stripped jacket and extending approximately 10mm.

Step 5: Arrange Wire Pairs

Carefully untwist the wire pairs. Arrange the individual wires according to the specified color code for proper termination. A correct arrangement is indicated by a checkmark [✔️]. An incorrect arrangement is indicated by a cross mark [❌].

The correct order for insertion is shown, ensuring pairs are kept together and wires are straight.

Step 6: Guide Wires into Plug

Using the provided tool, guide each wire into its corresponding terminal slot within the RJ45 plug. The tool helps ensure wires are correctly positioned.

Step 7: Seat Wires and Check Length

Ensure all wires are fully seated in their respective terminals. The exposed conductor length extending from the cable jacket should not exceed 5-8mm.

Step 8: Trim Wires

Using wire cutters, trim the excess wire conductors. The ends of the conductors must be flush with the plug's internal contacts or within a maximum of 0.2mm to ensure proper connection.

CUT 1 and CUT 2 indicate the trimming points.

Step 9: Align and Insert Plug into Housing

Align the terminated RJ45 plug with the connector housing. Insert the plug into the housing until it clicks or is fully seated.
