INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cable Preparation
1. Strip back the cable jacket from the shield and cut away that portion
of the cable jacket. Do not cut the shield.The shielded conductors
should extend beyond the cable jacket 1.0" [25.4 mm]. (See Fig. 1).
2. Fold the shield back over the cable jacket, then trim the folded shield
to 0.38" [9.53 mm]. The shield should wrap smoothly around the
outside of the jacketed cable with the conductive surface exposed.
(See Fig. 2 & 3).
3. Bend the drain wire back so it lies flat against the folded shield. Take
care to orientate the drain wire so it touches the large tab within the
modular plug housing and opposite from the strain relief. (See Fig. 4).

4a. (without Wire Prep Tool)
Place conductors in proper sequence (see table) and trim
conductors to 7/16" (11mm) using wire snipping tool (CWST).
PN234C
Insert conductors individually in the proper
sequence (See above table).
Remove cable from conductor retention slot,
keeping conductors held in position by placing
thumb and forefinger at cable jacket end.
Pull conductors until cable jacket is at
conductor retention slot.
Place conductors in guide troughs, number 1-8 left
to right with latch down as shown. Apply slight
downward pressure as you insert conductors until
they are fully extended and under the plug contacts.
Notes:
1. Panduit crimp tool MPT5-8AS recommended for crimping.
2. Terminates most 24-26 AWG stranded or solid conductor with an insulation dia of 0.035" - 0.040".
3. For information on grounding and bonding refer to TIA/EIA 607.
As with all Wiring Accessories, the following statements apply:
1. Never install communications wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install communications wiring in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for use in wet locations.
3. Never touch un-insulated communications wiring or terminals unless the communication line is disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying communication wiring.

Trim conductors flush using wire
snipping tool.
1. Place plug in die until it clicks. Maintain
pressure by pushing cable into plug.
2. Complete termination by closing the die
set fully and releasing.
