TE CONNECTIVITY MODULAR PLUG PORTFOLIO
TE Connectivity offers a vast portfolio of Modular Plugs for a wide
variety of applications, performance and cable and conductor
styles. Below is a brief explanation of the basics of this portfolio to
assist in proper plug selection.
CAT 6A, CAT 6, CAT 5E EMT and Secure Modular Plugs
These modular plugs consist of a three-piece design: the modular plug body
with contacts; a wire holder to manage the conductors and ensure performance
and; a metal strain relief for securing the cable and if used with a shielded cable
provides the shielding for the plug. These plugs can be used with shielded or
unshielded cables. They are available with 3 different size strain reliefs to handle
the range of cable diameters. Each performance level uses slightly different
wire holders to achieve the desired performance levels. All three of these plug
types utilize the 737893 or 336513 series plug boots. They utilize the Pro-
Crimper III Hand Tool (354940-1) with the appropriate die set based on strain
relief diameter. Please note that the SECURE Plugs require a unique die set to
accommodate the securing key.
CAT 5E, 8-Position Plug
The CAT 5E Modular Plug is a two-piece design consisting of the modular plug
body with contacts, and a load bar or wire holder. In this design the strain relief
is built into the plug body. If the shielded option is desired, the plug comes with
a factory installed wrap around shield. This plug utilizes the 569875, 569876 or
569877 series boot depending upon cable diameter. It utilizes the Pro-Installer
tool with the “White” dot die set.
CAT 5, 8-Position Modular Plug
The CAT 5, 8-position plug is a one-piece design. This plug is available with a
“standard” design which is 0.885 inches long and also a “long” design which is
0.915 inches long. The plug is also available for use with “round” cable as well as
“flat oval” cable. Additionally, it is available in unshielded and shielded utilizing
a wrap-around shield. This plug utilizes the same boots as the CAT 5E and the
Pro-Installer tool with the “Black” dot die set.
6-Position Modular Plug
The 6-position (RJ-11) modular plug is also a one-piece design and is offered
in a “standard” design 0.530 inches long and also a “long” version which is
0.895 inches long. The plug is available for round as well as flat oval cable. It is
available in unshielded and shielded versions. The 6-postion plug has a unique
variety called “small conductor” for use with conductors with thin-wall insulation
and overall diameter of 0.029 to 0.034 inches. Lastly, the 6-position plug is
available with only 4 or 2 contacts installed. This plug utilizes the Pro-Installer
tool with the “standard” plug using the “Blue” dot die set and the “long” using
the “Violet” dot die set.
4-Position Modular Plug
The 4-position (telephone handset) modular plug is a one-piece design and
is 0.530 inches long and is designed for use with flat-oval cables. It is only
available as unshielded. The plug utilizes the “Green” dot die set with the Pro-
Installer Tool.
