How to Install Platinum Tools Cat6A/7 28 - 26 AWG Termination Kit
- Prepare the cable: Select Cat6A/7 cable with 28-26 AWG conductors. Remove the outer jacket to expose the pair conductors, then straighten and trim them to the appropriate length for the connector.
- Choose the termination standard: Decide on the desired wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and align the conductors in the exact order before termination.
- Align conductors with the shielded connector: Carefully arrange the 28-26 AWG wires in the correct order and insert them into the RJ45 Cat6A/7 Shielded Connector, ensuring each conductor seats fully in its channel.
- Use the liner and bar: The three-piece bar and liner design helps stabilize and guide conductors for a clean, reliable crimp. Ensure the assembly sits squarely in the crimp tool interface before crimp.
- Crimp with a compatible tool: Apply firm, even pressure with a compatible RJ45 crimping tool designed for shielded Cat6A/7 connectors. Do not over-crimp or under-crimp, which can compromise contact integrity.
- Inspect the termination: Visually verify that all conductors are fully seated and extending to the correct length. Confirm there are no loose strands or misaligned pins.
- Test the connection: Use a cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity, and shielding performance. Address any misclosures before deployment.
- Repeat as needed: For additional terminations, follow the same steps to ensure consistent performance across multiple ports or runs.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What cables can I terminate with this kit? A: Cat6A and Cat7 cables with 28-26 AWG conductors are supported, including both solid and stranded types.
- Q: Does the three-piece bar & liner design improve termination quality? A: Yes. The bar and liner help align and seat conductors precisely, delivering consistent, true Cat6A/7 terminations with each crimp.
- Q: Will these terminations work for high-speed networks? A: The shielded connectors and Cat6A/7 capabilities support high-speed networks, including up to 10 Gbps under appropriate cabling and system conditions.
- Q: What tools do I need to use this kit? A: A compatible RJ45 crimping tool designed for shielded Cat6A/7 connectors is recommended to achieve reliable terminations.
- Q: Is shielding important for terminations? A: Shielding helps reduce EMI and crosstalk, which can improve signal integrity in environments with dense cabling or nearby power sources.
