1.1.
SCOPE
Content
This specification covers performance, test and quality requirements for NETCONNECT* Category 3,
Category 5e and Category 6 SL Series unshielded 110 jacks, Category 5e and Category 6 SL Series
shielded 110 jacks and plugs. These assemblies are designed for installation into various outlet plates,
surface mount boxes, panels, and other similar type fittings. Jacks incorporate IDC terminals for
terminating both shielded or unshielded twisted pair communications cable. Jacks will accommodate 22
- 24 AWG solid and 24 - 26 AWG stranded conductors. The maximum conductor insulation diameter is
1.45 mm [.057 in]. For large OD conductors 1.27 to 1.45 mm an external strain relief must be used. The
plugs accommodate Category 6 cable and shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable with 23 - 24 AWG
solid, or 24 - 26 AWG stranded conductors. The maximum conductor insulation diameter is 1.00 mm
[.039 in] with a cable jacket diameter between 4.7 and 7.0 mm [.185 and .276 in].
1.2.
Qualification
When tests are performed on the subject product line, procedures specified in Figure 1 shall be used.
All inspections shall be performed using the applicable inspection plan and product drawing.
