  2. Strip the Cable: Carefully strip approximately 20-25mm (0.8-1 inch) of the outer jacket from the Ethernet cable. Be cautious not to damage the internal wires.
  3. Expose Wires: Remove any shielding or foil to expose the twisted pairs. Untwist the wire pairs.
  4. Organitzar els cables: Straighten the individual wires and arrange them according to either the T568A or T568B wiring standard. Ensure consistency if connecting to an existing network.
  5. Inserir a la barra de càrrega: Carefully insert the arranged wires into the color-coded load bar. Ensure each wire is fully seated in its correct slot.
  6. Cables de retall: Use a sharp cutter to trim the excess wires flush with the edge of the load bar. This ensures proper contact when the connector is closed.
  7. Place Load Bar: Open the connector's hinged metal casing (it opens over 90 degrees). Place the load bar with the trimmed wires into the designated slot within the connector.
  8. Tanca el connector: Carefully close the hinged metal casing until it snaps shut. Ensure the wires remain in place and the connection is secure.
  9. Secure Retaining Ring: Slide the retaining ring forward and twist it to lock the cable in place, providing strain relief.
  10. Col·loqueu la coberta antipols: If not immediately connecting, attach the dust cover to protect the contacts.

Important Wiring Standards:

  • T568A: Green-White, Green, Orange-White, Blue, Blue-White, Orange, Brown-White, Brown
  • T568B: Orange-White, Orange, Green-White, Blue, Blue-White, Green, Brown-White, Brown

Always use the same wiring standard (T568A or T568B) on both ends of a cable for a standard straight-through connection.
