4. Configuració i instal·lació
The Goobay 61130 connector features a tool-free LSA assembly for quick and easy installation.
4.1 Cable Compatibility
This connector is suitable for round network cables with conductor models:
- Solid Conductors: AWG 22/1 - 26/1
- Stranded Conductors: AWG 22/7 - 26/7
- Diàmetre del cable: 5.0 - 8.5 mm
4.2 Passos d'instal·lació
- Prepareu el cable: Carefully strip the outer jacket of your CAT 8.1 network cable to expose the twisted pairs. Ensure sufficient length for termination.
- Organitzar els cables: Untwist the wire pairs and arrange them according to the TIA 568A/B color coding scheme, which is typically indicated on the connector itself. The connector is color-coded for TIA 568A/B.
- Inserir cables: Place each individual wire into its corresponding slot in the LSA terminal block.
- Tancar l'habitatge: Close the connector housing by simply pressing it together. This action will simultaneously cut the excess wire ends and establish the connection without the need for special tools.
- Verifica la connexió: After closing, ensure the connection is secure and the wires are properly seated. A network cable tester can be used to verify continuity and correct wiring.

5. Funcionament
Once properly installed on a CAT 8.1 network cable, the Goobay 61130 RJ45 connector enables high-speed data transmission and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionalities.
- Dades d'alta velocitat: The connector supports 25GBase-T and 40GBase-T Ethernet standards, with a frequency of up to 2 GHz, ensuring optimal performance for demanding network applications. It is backward compatible with lower CAT standards.
- Alimentació per Ethernet (PoE): It supports PoE++ (4PPoE, Ultra PoE) according to IEEE802.3bt, allowing power to be delivered to compatible devices over the same network cable.
- Integritat del senyal: The 3µm gold-plated contacts and STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) shielding ensure optimal signal transmission and durability, minimizing interference and crosstalk.
6. Manteniment
The Goobay 61130 CAT 8.1 RJ45 connector requires minimal maintenance.
- Neteja: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the connector with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Inspecció: Periodically inspect the connector for any signs of physical damage or corrosion.
- Emmagatzematge: Store unused connectors in a dry, dust-free environment.
7. Solució De Problemes
If you experience issues with your network connection, consider the following:
- Sense connexió de xarxa:
- Ensure the cable is correctly terminated in the connector according to TIA 568A/B standards.
- Verify that the cable is securely plugged into both the connector and the network device.
- Test the cable and connector with a network cable tester to check for continuity and correct wiring.
- Check if the network device (e.g., switch, router) is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Velocitat de xarxa lenta:
- Ensure all components in your network chain (cable, connector, network card, switch) support CAT 8.1 or the desired speed.
- Check for electromagnetic interference (EMI) if the cable is routed near power lines or other sources of interference. The STP shielding helps, but extreme interference can still affect performance.
- Verify that the cable length does not exceed the recommended limits for CAT 8.1 (24m permanent link, 30m channel link).
- PoE Not Working:
- Confirm that both the power sourcing equipment (PSE) and the powered device (PD) support PoE++ (IEEE802.3bt).
- Ensure the cable is correctly wired for PoE.
