Its inner film enhances the already weatherproof UV Resistant PE sheath and keeps away any condensation that may build up. Suitable for burying underground mounting to buildings or installing indoors the 7mm copper cable is durable and easy to install delivering gigabit speeds (subject to your network). fits and has been performance tested with the entire line of trueCABLE shielded Cat6 and Cat6A Ethernet cable (even the big direct burial stuff) Written by Don Schultz, trueCABLE Technical Sales Representative & Fluke Networks Certified Technician Our older pass through crimp and termination tool (V1) is not compatible with these Cat6/6A Shielded Pass Through RJ45 Connectors. The strain latch presser bar on that tool will crush the rear of your shielded plug.
Cable Stripping & Cutting Tool (optional but recommended-- our All-In-One Crimp and Termination Tool has a very good cable stripper on it, but ultimately, the dedicated cut & strip tool is more versatile) In addition, shielded cable, while not excessively heavy, can become weighty if you are running a lot of cables in one area. Heavy cabling run above a ceiling or behind a wall has been known to cause structural damage. If your RJ45 crimp tool has an adjustable strain latch presser bar, this is the time to disengage it from activating. If you do not, the presser bar will come up when you terminate the plug conductors and crush the rear of the RJ45 plug -- ruining it. You may already have decided that you need Category 6 Cable. Buying Cat6 cable means you will be able to receive up to 1 Gbps Ethernet transmission. Plus, Cat6 is essential for 1000 Base-T style networks. So far, so good.
Shield
How did I know that the cable in question would work with this plug? I knew how to Select the Correct Connector. Notes on Cat6 and Cat6A Shielded plugs in general:
Use the larger crimp cavity FIRST. This is the “start” cavity. The plug should be latch-side down as shown. Just bought yourself a nice outdoor surveillance camera or Wi-Fi Access Point? You have to hook that thing up somehow, and the only way is to attach a RJ45 plug to the end of an Ethernet cable. But...how? There is a lot of confusion and misinformation out there regarding the termination of shielded bulk Ethernet cable to shielded plugs. Horror stories abound about how difficult it is. Actually, it is not that difficult once you know how to do it and what to buy. Welcome to the right path! Let’s take a dive into this process of how to terminate Cat6 cables, where I will show you how to do it correctly. Leave the strain latch presser bar set to ON (the tool comes this way from the factory) even though the plug in question does not technically have a strain latch inside. When choosing Ethernet cables for your home or business network, evaluate the environment & cost to select the appropriate shielded or unshielded cables that meet your network needs.
Tools Needed
Cat6a shielded twisted pair cable has a shield in cables to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI) from affecting the performance of the cable. It also prevents cable signals from interfering with surrounding cables and equipment. Properly installed Cat6a shielded cables automatically curb EMI and crosstalk, helping to ensure data integrity and high-speed performance. The Cat6a shielded cables must be grounded to work. Here is a handy reference for you. When looking at the conductor color sequence, be sure you understand the orientation of the plug itself! Yes, it is quite possible to get the sequence correct and put the plug upside down. I have done it, so don’t be a Don. Using a flat head screwdriver tip, press the “wings” downward to get the crimp started. Place the plug into the ground tab crimp cavity at the rear of the termination tool. Now switch to the smaller “finish” cavity. Again, the plug latch-side should be down. Fully cycle the handle lever to complete the crimp. A Cat6 patch lead or cable, also known as a straight-through cable, is used for connecting devices of different types, like a computer to a switch or hub.
Once you have terminated both ends of your cable run, it is time for testing. There are a number of tools to accomplish this, and the easier and more informative the test is, the more expensive it will be. Take a look at this blog for tips on dealing with issues: Basic Network Cable Troubleshooting: What Did I Do Wrong? Plenum cable is used in spaces generally reserved for HVAC areas, usually under raised floors or above suspended ceilings within buildings. It has special insulation giving it smokeless and low flame characteristics. We will demonstrate this termination with trueCABLE Cat6A Shielded Riser Ethernet cable. This cable has been fitment and performance tested when using our Cat6/6A Shielded Pass Through Plug . There it is. Pretty easy to do, once you have a couple goes at it. Keep in mind that terminating an RJ45 plug is part science and part art. If you are new to this, practice on scrap cable and buy enough plugs just in case you make bad terminations. Trust me, I have made my fair share of bad terminations over the years. Practice makes perfect. The more spline that protrudes the more difficulty you will have with fully seating the RJ45 plug. Once you cut the spline wings, then twist to remove.
Easy does it. Don’t use too much pressure, as you are liable to remove the conductor insulation right off the copper.
As a rule, you will only need shielding when your cable is running through an area of high electro-magnetic interference or radio frequency interference (called EMI/RFI). This might be output by power line structures, large magnets or sometimes radio antennas. If you are not encountering a situation like this, then shielding won't necessarily give you any advantage in terms of a faster or clearer signal. In fact, it may make matters worse.
Cat6e Cables
Grab your RJ45 crimp and termination tool. Place the plug into the tool (it will only go one way). Continue placing pressure on the cable and plug by pushing lightly into the tool cavity. At the same time, press the lever downward in one smooth motion. This single step does one thing only: Before you place your cable into the stripping tool, adjust the blade all the way up since it may be too low and cut too deeply. You need to do this only once at the start of your session. All done! So, there you have a Cat6/6A shielded external ground RJ45 connector on your cable now. Go plug it in and HAPPY NETWORKING! The main advantage of Cat 6 cable over previous generations is its capability to support Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1000 Mbps) and higher network speeds. It has more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise compared to Cat 5e cable, which allows for better performance and less signal degradation over longer distances. Applications
