GETTING IT INSTALLED?
A few tips for clean, reliable terminations with the 078-2152/EZC:
- Match the plug to the tool. Use the plugs on the compatibility list above to ensure a proper fit and clean trim.
- Prep the cable carefully. Strip the jacket, keep the pairs twisted as close to the plug as you can (TIA-568 limits untwist at the termination to about 0.5 in or 13 mm), and arrange the conductors in your chosen T568A or T568B order.
- Feed the conductors all the way through. With feed-through plugs, the wires pass through the plug body and extend out the front before you crimp.
- Complete the full ratchet cycle. Squeeze until the ratchet releases so the plug is fully crimped.
- Check the front face and test. The conductors should be trimmed flush with the plug face. A quick wire-map test confirms the termination.
