FAQs

What type of cable is required for this RJ45 plug?

This plug is specifically designed for solid core Cat6A FTP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables. It is not compatible with stranded core cables or other categories like Cat5e or Cat6.

Do I need any special tools to install this plug?

No, this is a tool-less RJ45 plug, meaning you do not need a traditional crimping tool for installation. The termination is achieved by manually seating the wires and tightening the screw cap.

What is the maximum speed this plug supports?

The Eagle G40 Cat6A FTP RJ45 Tool-less Plug supports transfer speeds up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40 GIG).

Can I use this plug for outdoor installations?

While the plug is shielded (FTP), it is generally recommended for indoor use. For outdoor applications, ensure the entire cable run is rated for outdoor use and protected from environmental elements.

What does 'FTP' mean in the product description?

FTP stands for Shielded Twisted Pair. This indicates that the plug provides shielding to protect the network connection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, which is important for high-speed data transmission.

How do I ensure a secure connection with the screw cap?

Once the wires are terminated, tighten the screw cap firmly. This provides strain relief, preventing the cable from pulling out of the plug and ensuring the internal connections remain secure.

What are the dimensions of the plug?

The dimensions of the plug are approximately 1.50cm x 7.00cm x 10.00cm.

Troubleshooting

Connection not working after installation

Verify that all eight wires are correctly seated in their designated channels within the plug and that the color code is consistent on both ends of the cable. Ensure the cable jacket is properly seated within the plug's strain relief.

Slow network speeds

Double-check that the cable used is indeed Cat6A FTP solid core and that the plug is fully terminated. Inspect for any physical damage to the cable or plug. Test with a known good cable and plug.

Plug feels loose on the cable

Ensure the screw cap is tightened securely to provide strain relief. Confirm that the cable diameter is appropriate for the plug's strain relief mechanism.

Difficulty inserting wires into channels

Slightly untwist the pairs only as much as needed. Ensure the wire ends are clean and straight. Do not force the wires; they should slide into place with minimal resistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates rapid and simple network cable termination.
  • Supports high-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet networks.
  • Reduces the need for specialized termination tools.
  • Offers robust shielding for improved signal integrity.
  • Ideal for professional installations and upgrades.

Cons

  • Requires specific Cat6A FTP solid core cables for optimal performance.
  • May be less forgiving of cable inconsistencies compared to crimped connections.
  • Tool-less design might require a firm grip for secure termination.
  • Not suitable for stranded core cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Strip approximately 2-3 cm of the outer jacket from the network cable.
  2. Untwist the individual pairs to the minimum extent necessary.
  3. Arrange the wires according to the T568A or T568B color code.
  4. Feed the wires through the plug, ensuring they are seated correctly in their respective channels.
  5. Gently pull the wires through until they are flush with the end of the plug.
  6. Secure the cable by tightening the screw cap.
  7. Ensure all wires are properly terminated within the plug's internal mechanism.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Type: Designed exclusively for solid core Cat6A FTP cables.
  • Conductor Size: Ensure the cable's conductors are within the compatible range for RJ45 plugs.
  • Not Compatible: Stranded core cables, Cat5e, Cat6, or UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables.

Care:

  • Keep the plug clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Avoid exposing the plug to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • Handle with care during installation to prevent damage to the internal contacts.
