![]() ![]() This cable has been fitment and performance tested when using our Cat6-6A Standard unshielded plug. We will demonstrate this termination with trueCABLE Cat6A Unshielded Riser Ethernet cable. įor those who would like to understand more about RJ45 plugs and why there can be such a great deal of confusion surrounding them, please read What is an RJ45 Connector?Įnough of that! Let’s jump right into terminating the little beast, shall we? ![]() A great resource is Selecting the Correct Connector. If your Ethernet cable is of a different brand, you need to confirm fitment. trueCABLE will stamp a Category on the bag because we go the extra step of confirming fitment and performance with our cable. The whole “category” thing is very misleading unless the cable and RJ45 plug are both made by the same manufacturer as is the case with trueCABLE. For more information about how the amount of untwisted wire in the finished termination affects performance, please read Cat6 Ethernet Cable Untwist Performance Compared - Fluke DSX-8000 Test Results.įirst, you should make certain that your cable will fit onto the RJ45 plug. These plugs minimize the amount of untwisted wires in the finished termination, reducing Near End Crosstalk (NEXT), and allowing greater performance, especially at high speeds.Interestingly, this is true to some extent but not because they are pass-through in design! Bad fitment or insufficient flush cutting of the conductors at the plug nose is the root cause. Some installers' perception is that pass-through style RJ45 plugs may present an issue with PoE devices (power over Ethernet) by being more prone to short circuit.These types of plugs cost quite a bit less than the pass through style.That is what they were trained with and prefer to this day.You may be asking yourself why you would want to use one of these load bar RJ45 plugs when you have access to the latest and greatest new fangled pass-through kind? Believe it or not, there are quite a few people who prefer them for the following reasons: Recommendation? I suggest you watch the video and read this blog as both bring their own level of detail to the table. Since this plug minimizes the amount of crosstalk in the finished termination, it is the only modular crimp-on plug we recommend for trueCABLE brand unshielded Cat6A cable. But they do pass-through the load bar, providing the convenience of a pass-through plug but with reduced crosstalk due to minimal untwisting of the conductors. The conductors don’t pass-through the front prior to termination onto your cable with this kind of plug. Think of the load bar as the third hand you always wanted, but could not afford to get grafted onto you. This style of plug has a solid nose and a staggered green load bar for organizing the conductors prior to insertion into the plug housing. ![]() I do not make this statement lightly, as I find this plug a joy to work with, and the load bar is unique. This combined video and written blog will show you how to put on one of the most easy to terminate standard load bar unshielded plugs. ![]()
