GETTING IT INSTALLED?
A few tips for clean, reliable terminations with the 078-2154/EZC/S:
- Stick with the listed plugs. Feed-through plugs and crimp tools are designed to work together, so use the plugs on the compatibility list above.
- 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. The wires pass through the plug body and extend out the front before you crimp, which also lets you double-check the wire order.
- Squeeze through the full ratchet cycle. Keep going until the ratchet releases so the plug is completely crimped.
- Check and test. Trim the conductors flush with the plug face, then run a quick wire-map test to confirm the termination.
