How to install Planar RJ45 Shielded Connector

• Prepare your cable: select the appropriate length and strip back the outer jacket to expose the conductors, following standard safety and precision practices.
• Organize conductors: arrange the wires in the correct 8P8C order for your network standard (e.g., T568A or T568B) before termination to ensure proper alignment and performance.
• Insert and seat: align the conductors with the connector contacts and insert them fully so they seat securely in the termination cavity, ensuring no stray strands.
• Terminating tool: use a compatible RJ45 termination tool or crimping tool specified for shielded connectors to ensure a solid, uniform crimp and reliable contact pressure.
• Inspect and test: visually inspect the termination for proper seating and shielding continuity, then test with a network tester to verify pin-out accuracy and signal integrity.

Frequently asked questions
