Installation Tips

How to Make A Patch Lead

  • Strip the cable sheath a min of 20mm from the end of the conductors. 
  • Sort the pairs into the correct sequence of how they will be terminated.
  • The normal scheme to use is 568B.
  • Trim the conductors square and to the correct length.
  • Insert the cable into the plug and ensure the conductors are fully under the pins and the jacket is under the strain relief.
  • Crimp the pins with a modular crimp tool.
  • Check all eight contacts are fully engaged and are slightly below the plastic channels.
