Cat6A Flex Connector Termination Guide

1. Tools required: Flush cutters
(PN 10531C), a cable jacket
stripping tool (PN 15010C),
and the flex connector.

2. Strip jacket and remove
any pull cords or internal
strength members. Shown
is wiring for TIA568B. Cut
Green and Blue pairs shorter
for easier wire management.

3. Slide pairs into the connector
orienting them according to
the colors on the wiring
guide. Seat the cable jacket
up against wire guide.

4. Untwist pairs and align in the
corresponding wire slots in
the wire guide. The wires
will seat into these guides
and stay firmly in place.

5. Using flush cutters trim the
excess wire flush with the
connector wire guide
ensuring all wires are in
the correct slots.

Grounding the Cat6A Shielded Flex Connector:

10. The metal tab on the back end of the wiring guide is used for
grounding the Cat6A Flex Connector. This tab can be used for either
a drain wire as well as foil or braid.

11. The drain wire can be wrapped up around the divot in the tab.
Hold the drain wire and wrap it around this tab 2-3 times making
sure it is secure. Solder can be used if necessary.

12. For extra grounding and security this tab can also be inserted into
the cable jacket to make contact with the foil or braid. The cable
shown here shows both the drain wire and foil being used for
grounding.

13. The above guide can be used for terminating both the shielded
(PN 106230) and non-shielded (PN 106220) Cat6A flex connectors.

6. Once all conductors are cut
flush you are ready for
termination.

7. Fold over the wiring guide
and press firmly to close.
With larger conductors there
may be some resistance and
a set of pliers can be used
to finish the termination.

8. Once connector is snapped
closed, use the included
cable tie to secure the cable
jacket onto the connector.
Insert through the slot on the
back end and wrap around
the cable jacket.

9. Cinch the cable tie tight and
the termination is complete.
