C-DGKat623 Termination

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Kramer’s BC-DGKat623 Twisted Pair cable and its Shielded RJ45 connectors
(CON-CRIMP-RJ-45/CAT6(STP-23#)). Here is the procedure for terminating these cables.

Tools Needed

1. Razor Knife

2. Wire Cutters

3. Pliers

4. Standard RJ45 Crimp Tool

Procedure

Step 1

Remove approximately 2.5” of the Blue Jacket using the Razor Knife exposing the 4 shielded pairs and

drain wire. Fold the drain wire over onto the cable for future use.

Step 2

Separate the 4 Pairs. Again using the Razor Knife, carefully remove the shielding without scoring the
wires beneath it. Repeat for all 4 pairs.

Step 3

Un-twist each pair and straighten the individual conductors. Be sure to keep each pair together so it can
be identified.

Step 4

Using the standard wiring scheme shown below (T568B), insert conductors into plastic loader piece of
the RJ45 connector. Plastic loader is necessary because the thickness of CAT6 cable does not allow it to
sit flat in an RJ-45 like in normal CAT5. Notice how the loader staggers the cables and the picture below.
