How to Install the SP6X88-C Modular Plug

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the SP6X88-C modular plug using the T568B wiring scheme.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Wire stripping tool, Wire snipping tool, Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

Modular plug (SP6X88-C), Cable (Category 6A UTP), Strain relief boot, Strain relief collar, Load bar, Divider

  1. Prepare the cable

    Thread the strain relief boot and collar onto the cable first. Remove 2.5" - 3.0" of the outer jacket from the cable end using a wire stripping tool.

  2. Arrange conductors

    Fan the twisted pairs into respective quadrants, ensuring the brown pair is opposite the orange pair. Insert the divider posts into the cable, aligning the 'V' channel with the green pair.

  3. Insert conductors into load bar

    Guide the conductors into the load bar holes while holding them in the divider. Slide the load bar towards the divider until flush, ensuring it is centered and perpendicular to the cable axis.

  4. Complete the assembly

    Grip and squeeze across the collar arms as the sub-assembly is inserted into the plug housing. Push until the collar locking tabs clear the plug housing pocket. Slide the boot forward and fully seat it onto the strain relief collar.

  5. Finalize the installation

    Use the MPT5-8AS tool to complete the termination. Visually check the plug assembly for proper orientation and ensure there is no gap between the collar and divider.
