5.5 Termination Equipment for
Category 5 or 5e Cable
Good, clean jacket removal and termination assures
that every wire connection is made with full contact
between the wire end and its termination point. This
technique results is in a high quality connection that
cannot be obtained when a wire is nicked or poorly
stripped. Leviton offers several termination tools for
Category 5 or 5e cable including:
• UTP Jacket Stripping Tool
• Jack Termination Tool
• D814 Wire Punchdown/Termination Tool (and D814
Tool Blades)
