Divider Load Bar Plug Housing Load Bar Divider Conductor holes and Contact slots Conductor slots and “V” channel 1 Pins 8 Conductor holes “V” channel Contact slots 1 Divider post CWST Thread on boot and collar first! (Cable ends 1 & 2) 90° (Cable end 2) 2 BLU Note orientation of the divider depending on cable end 1 or cable end 2. The “V” channel should be aligned 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. Arrange conductors to T568B wiring scheme while minimizing untwist and smooth conductors. Seat conductors into proper divider slots while holding divider near the end of the cable jacket. (Cable end 1) GRN ORG “V” channel ORG “V” channel GRN Thread boot and collar onto the cable first. Remove 2.0" of the outer jacket from the cable end using wire stripping tool (CJAST). Remove matrix foil to expose twisted pairs. Fan twisted pairs into respective quadrants. The brown pair should be opposite the orange pair. When a cable spline (X-shaped filler) is present, cut spline flush to fanned pairs using wire snipping tool (CWST). BRN BLU 3 BRN “V” channel (Cable end 1) (Cable end 2) * Denotes packaging quantity.

Do not release grip of conductors until load bar is applied in order to maintain conductor alignment. Trim conductors on an angle approximately 1.00" from divider leading edge. Orient load bar with contact slots facing downward. Guide conductors into load bar holes while holding conductors in the divider. Slide load bar towards divider until flush. Ensure the divider/load bar is centered and perpendicular to the cable axis. Trim conductors flush with load bar face. While holding load bar and divider stationary, slide collar and boot forward until there is no gap between collar and divider. Do not exert pressure onto divider as collar can push load bar off conductors. Confirm orientation of collar. Align pin #1 of cable sub-assembly with pin #1 of plug housing. Grip and squeeze across collar arms as sub-assembly is inserted into plug housing. Push sub-assembly into housing until collar locking tabs clear the plug housing pocket. Although not required, TX6 PLUS Plug Assembly Tool (CSPT) is available to facilitate this step. Slide boot forward and fully seat onto strain relief collar. Use tool MPT5-8AS to complete termination. Assembly is complete. Visually check plug. 8 6 4 3 2 7 5 1 GRN/ BRN/ BLU/ ORG/ T568B BRN WHT GRN WHT BLU WHT ORG WHT Pin # PN575B 1.00" (Cable end 1) 5 (Cable end 2) Verify Load Bar orientation (Cable end 1) 1 8 Pins 1 Pins 6 8 7 (Cable end 1) (Cable end 2) 8 1 Pins Collar locking tabs 8 1 (Cable end 1) Pins 9 8 10 MPT5-8AS For Technical Support: www.panduit.com/resources/install_maintain.asp Page 2 of 4 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS © Panduit Corp. 2013 PN575B T568A Wiring Scheme 6 4 3 2 7 5 1 ORG/ BRN/ BLU/ GRN/ T568A BRN WHT ORG WHT BLU WHT GRN WHT Pin # Strain Relief Boot 8 Specifications • Cable jacket diameter 0.285 in. max. • Maximum conductor insulation diameter 0.041 in. • Panduit recommends T568A wiring scheme for use with cable constructed with the brown pair opposing the green pair.
