How to Install the MPS588-C Shielded Modular Plug
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing and terminating cables with the MPS588-C shielded modular plug.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Wire snipping tool, Crimp tool
Supplies needed:
Shielded cable, MPS588-C modular plugs
- Prepare the cable
Strip back the cable jacket from the shield, ensuring the shielded conductors extend 1.0" beyond the jacket. Fold the shield back over the jacket and trim it to 0.38".
- Arrange conductors
Untwist the pairs and straighten the conductors. Place them in the correct sequence according to the T568A or T568B standard and trim them to 7/16".
- Insert and crimp the plug
Insert the conductors into the MPS588-C modular plug, ensuring they reach the retention slot. Use the crimp tool to secure the plug by pressing down fully until it clicks.
