how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cat6/Cat5e 110 Style Punch Down Keystone Jack - White, 25-Pack, TAA
- Prepare the cable: Begin by measuring and planning the cable length, then strip the outer jacket of the UTP cable to expose the individual conductors. Untwist the pairs to the recommended length and align them according to the color-coding scheme printed on the jack’s termination slots. Ensure no copper is nicked and the insulation is clean for a reliable termination.
- Insert conductors into IDC slots: Following the Cat5e/Cat6 termination diagram, insert each conductor into the corresponding color-coded slots of the 110 IDC termination area. Make sure each wire is fully seated and in the correct order to prevent crosstalk or miswiring.
- Terminate with a 110 punch-down tool: Using a standard 110 punch-down tool, push the conductor blades down firmly until they seat against the metal contacts. Apply consistent pressure to ensure a clean cut and stable connection. The tool should trim the excess conductor at the same time.
- Trim and inspect: After termination, inspect each slot to verify a clean seat and no loose strands. If needed, lightly re-terminate any conductor that did not seat properly. A well-terminated set of wires promotes stable signal integrity.
- Install into a wall plate or patch panel: Once all conductors are terminated, insert the keystone jack into a compatible keystone wall plate, patch panel, or enclosure. Snap it into place until it is secure, then tighten any mounting hardware if required by your enclosure.
- Test the connection: Use a network cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity, and adherence to Cat5e/Cat6 performance. Check for any miswiring, shorts, or crosstalk and re-terminate if necessary to achieve optimal performance.
