1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of Category 6 Shielded Modular Plug Connector.
These requirements are applicable to hand or automatic machine terminating tools. Cables approved for
use with these connectors are round, twisted-pair cables, shielded, 23-24 AWG solid or 24-26 AWG
stranded conductors. The insulated conductor outside diameter must be between 0.80 and 1.09 [.031 and
.043], and a cable jacket outside diameter between 4.7 and 7.0 [.185 and .276].
When corresponding with Tyco Electronics Personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to
facilitate your inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of components are provided in Figure 1.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the
connector components.
B. Shelf Life
All components products should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent
damage.
These products should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination.

3.2. Cable
A. Cable Specifications
1. Cable Type: Round jacketed, shielded, four twisted pairs.
2. Conductor Type:
a. Solid Conductor: 23-24 AWG.
b. Stranded Conductor: 24-26 AWG, 7-strands.
3. Conductor Insulation Outside Diameter: 0.80-1.09 [.031-.043] for any one conductor.
4. Cable Jacket Insulation Diameter: 4.7 - 7.0 [.200 - .276]
5. Shield Type: Foil and/or braid, with or without drain wire
6. Cable Pair Arrangement: The arrangement of colour-coded pairs within the cable jacket
applicable to TIA/EIA T568B wiring and the termination procedures described in this
specification is shown in Figure 3. Cable end A applies to one end of the cable and cable end B
to the opposite end. For TIA/EIA T568A wiring or termination of cables with pair arrangements
other than shown in Figure 2, contact the responsible Tyco Electronics Engineering
Department.

B. Cable Preparation
(Figure 3)
1. Slide each boot over the relevant end of the cable before the cable stripping operation.
2. Strip the cable jacket 30 - 40 [1.18 – 1.58] as shown.
CAUTION
Do not nick the insulation of the conductors or the shield of the cable
3. Fold the outside shield and drain wire (if present) back over the jacket. In case of braid and foil
together, foil must be trimmed up to 2.0 [.079] max from the jacket end. Individual pair shields
must be trimmed up to 2.0 [.079] max from the jacket end.
4. If present, cut and remove any cable filler, ripcord or plastic wrap.
5. Slide the plug shield over the cable jacket and cable shield.
CAUTION
Do not tear the cable shield. Do not slide the plug shield past the folded-back end of the cable shield
1. Slide the boot
2. Strip the cable jacket, recommended length
30–40 mm [1.18-1.58]
2 mm
3. Fold the outside shield back over the jacket,
In case of braid and foil together, foil must be
trimmed up to 2 mm max.
4. Foil of individual pair shields must be
trimmed up to max 2mm max.
5. Slide the plug shield over the cable jacket and cable shield

C. Cable Positioning
1. While firmly holding the cable jacket next to the stripped end, untwist the pairs as much as
possible as shown in figure 4.

Untwist the pairs as much as possible
Figure 4
2. Position the pairs according to the right Wiring. Try to avoid twisting between pairs as much as
possible. See Figure 5.
Position the pairs (according to Wiring B in this case)
Figure 5
3. While firmly holding the positioned pairs, make a preliminary cut to the pairs to help the insertion
of the conductors into the wire holder. See Figure 6.
