SCOPE
Content
This specification covers perform ance, test and quality requirem ents for NETCONNECT* Category 3,
Category 5e and Category 6 SL Series unshielded 110 jacks, Category 5e and Category 6 SL Series
shielded 110 jacks and plugs. These assem blies are designed for installation into various outlet plates,
surface m ount boxes, panels, and other sim ilar type fittings. Jacks incorporate IDC term inals for
term inating both shielded or unshielded twisted pair com m unications cable. Jacks will accom m odate 22
- 24 AW G solid and 24 - 26 AW G stranded conductors. The m axim um conductor insulation diam eter is
1.45 m m [.057 in]. For large OD conductors 1.27 to 1.45 m m an external strain relief m ust be used. The
plugs accom m odate Category 6 cable and shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable with 23 - 24 AW G
solid, or 24 - 26 AW G stranded conductors. The m axim um conductor insulation diam eter is 1.00 m m
[.039 in] with a cable jacket diam eter between 4.7 and 7.0 m m [.185 and .276 in].
1.2.
