Specifications
• Cable jacket diameter maximum 0.300 in (7.6mm).
• Solid or stranded conductor maximum insulated diameter
0.047 in (1.2mm).
• Panduit recommends T568B wiring scheme for use with cable constructed with the brown pair opposing the orange pair.
• For use with F/UTP, U/FTP and S/FTP type cables, which meet the dimensional requirements. Cable must have drain wire or braid.

• Thread boot and collar onto cable.
• Remove 1.5" of the outer jacket using wire stripping tool
(CJAST).
• Cut foil flush with cable jacket. If cable is braided, form braid into a drain wire. Bend the drain wire back so it is against the cable jacket.
• Fan twisted pairs into respective quadrants. The brown pair should be opposite the orange pair.
• Cut spline flush to fanned pairs using wire snipping tool
(CWST).
• Align the conductor divider “V” channel with the green pair.
• Insert divider posts into the cable. If the cable has an internal spline, insert divider posts into the brown and orange quadrants of the spline.
3 • Arrange conductors to T568B wiring scheme while minimizing untwist.
• Seat conductors into proper divider slots while holding divider flush with cable jacket.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PN600A
• Straighten and align untwisted conductors using a circular motion while holding conductors in respective divider slots.
• Maintain grip of conductors in T568B wiring scheme.
• Trim conductors on an angle approximately 1.00" from divider leading edge.

• Orient cable so the drain wire is facing up.
• Hold the load bar and divider stationary while sliding the strain relief collar forward until there is no gap between the collar and divider.
• Ensure the drain wire is routed through the strain collar guides.
• Confirm the cable jacket extends beyond the collar barbs.
• Align pin #1 of cable sub-assembly (cable, load bar, divider, and strain relief collar) with pin #1 of plug housing.

• Grip the strain relief collar and insert cable sub-assembly into the plug housing. (Fig. 9)
• Push sub-assembly into housing until collar locking tabs engage the plug housing pocket. Although not required, TX6
PLUS Plug Assembly Tool (CSPT) is available to facilitate this step.
• Use tool MPT5-8AS to complete plug termination. (Fig. 10)
• Trim or press excess drain wire between the collar latches.
• Push up boot and engage with collar latches.
• Visually check plug. Assembly is complete.
