5. USUAL CONNECTION OF RJ45 SOCKETS

Accepts the following cable connectors:
RJ11 (4 contacts), RJ12 (6 contacts), RJ45 (9 contacts).

Double colour code EIA - TIA 568 A and B on terminals:

- UTP 8 contacts

12345678

EIA 568 A

Conductors supported:

- Single-strand: 0.5 to 0.65 mm, AWG 22 to 25

- Multi-strand: AWG 26

- Polyethylene conductor insulation: max. Ø with insulation 1.58 mm

The RJ45 connectors are equipped with a rotating locking system that
does not require special tools and enables rewiring in the event of
error.

EIA

B

This system allows the wire pairs to be spread easily before attaching
them to the connector.

Spreading the wires ensures that pairs are separated by the required
13 mm.
Spreading the pairs at 90° in relation to the cable ensures the best
performance levels.
