Termination Procedure
T568B Wiring Shown
Pre-Termination Step For Angled Entry
Note: Some mounting hardware and box space does not
allow for cable entry directly from the rear. If a typical
termination from the rear is done and the cable is then bent
in the needed direction, performance and reliability can
suffer. A proper termination should have the intended entry
direction set before seating the conductors.
1. Set the intended entry angle before seating the
conductors.
2. Pull pairs into the module until the jacket is snug
against the rear housing. Outer pairs should sweep
around the inside pairs and not be pulled into them.
Direct Cable End Reverse Cable End

Green pair Brown pair
(Blue pair)
(Brown pair) (Orange pair)
(Green pair)
Blue pair
1. Each cable end has two pairs routed into the holes and two pairs routed over the top, without crossover or
rearrangement. On the Direct cable end, the Orange and Blue pairs enter the holes and the Green and
Brown pairs lay over the top. On the Reverse cable end, the Green and Brown pairs enter the holes and the
Orange and Blue pairs lay over the top.
2. Pull pairs into the module until the jacket end is snug against the rear housing.

3. To place conductors, hold the pair down on the
termination position and bend it for easy grasp as
shown above. Then untwist the pair in a counter-
clockwise direction enough to open it up.
4. Push conductors down into slot
positions (check color codes).
Maintain pair twist up to the
opening for the slots.

1. Use impact tool on HI setting with M110
cutting blade
to punch conductors
straight down into slots. When using the
impact t
ool, the hand puck is
recommended.
Or
2. Use pliers with wire cap to seat
conductors. Use fine edge cutters to
trim conductors flush to the module
body.
