EIA/TIA-568A and EIA/TIA-568B are standards for the electrical contacts of 8-pole RJ45 plugs and
jacks. A cable conforming to this standard consists of 8 insulated conductors twisted to form 4
insulated conductor pairs. The difference between the EIA/TIA-568A and EIA/TIA-568B standards is
that the insulated conductor pairs 2 (orange) and 3 (green) are swapped over.
Procedure:
• Connect the network cable to the Keystone jack.
• Mount the Keystone jack with network cable on the top-hat rail.
Connecting the Network Cable to the Keystone Jack
1. Strip the cable jacket by 30 mm.
2. Fold back the braided shielding.
3. Remove the foil shield from the insulated conductor pairs.
4. Attach the copper foil from the outside to the braided shielding with the adhesive side in.
5. Lead the cable into the cable organiser.
6. Insert the conductors into the slots of the cable organiser. Observe the appropriate colour
coding for the standard of your choice.
