XTP DTP 24 Plug Kit for XTP DTP 24 Cable • Setup Guide

The Extron Shielded XTP DTP 24 RJ-45 Plug kit terminates XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair
cable. The plug can accommodate solid and stranded conductors with a diameter in the range
of 0.044 to 0.048inch.

The following tools are required to complete a fully shielded cable assembly:

RJ-45 Crimper

Pliers

RJ-45 Tester

Wire Cutter/Stripper

The kit contains connectors and guides and provides a method to complete a fully shielded
cable assembly. To terminate XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable, follow these steps:

1. Optional: Slide a strain relief or heat shrink

over the cable. The strain relief and heat
shrink are not included.

2. Strip approximately 1.25 inches (31.8mm) of

the cable jacket from the end of the cable.

3. Remove the foil and mylar shielding (if

present) from the end of the cable.

4. Turn the cable over and atten the braid

against the bottom of the cable jacket for
grounding purposes (see note in step 11).

NOTE: In the gure at right, the cable is

viewed from beneath, so the wires are
in reverse order.

5. Separate and untwist the four exposed

twisted pair wires and trim (but do not strip)
the wires to 0.8inch (20.3 mm).

6. Arrange and lay at the eight wires in the

correct order to comply with the
TIA/EIA 568B wiring standard (see the table
at right).

NOTES: Plenum cable does not have a

stripe on the white conductor.

7. Feed the individual wires, in the correct order,

through the open front face of the plastic
guide and out through the individual holes at
the other side. The rear of the guide should
be seated against the end of the jacket and
braid.

8. Cut the wires to 0.6 inch (15.2 mm) as shown

at right.

9. Push the guide up, leaving 0.3 inch of the

wires exposed above the guide (see image
at right).

10. Insert the guide and wires into the RJ-45

connector, making sure the wires pass the
crimping teeth of the connector.

NOTE: Ensure the wires are in the correct

order (see table on the previous page)
and the bottom of the connector is
next to the braid shield that was folded
under the cable in step 4.

11. Insert the connector into the termination tool

and crimp it to secure the connector to the
cable. Use pliers to secure the connector
tabs around the cable and the ground.

NOTE: To ensure correct grounding

throughout the cable, the braid shield
(folded back in step 4) must make
contact with the shielded RJ-45
connector on both ends of the cable.

12. If a strain relief is present, slide it forward to

cover the cable and the rst 0.4inch
(10.2 mm) of the RJ-45 connector.

13. Test both ends of the cable for conductivity.

NOTE: If there is a need to re-terminate the

cable, cut off the terminated end of the
cable and repeat steps 2 through 12.
