Installation for Category 5 or
5e jacks
Strip 2" of cable jacket
and position first pair,
white-blue/blue. The cen-
ter channel lets you pre-
serve wire twisting to
less than .5" from the
termination point.
Set 110-tool to low impact
setting and turn cutting
edge outward to terminate
first pair. The patented
‘cuttting ledge’ trims the
wire as you terminate,
saving you a step.
As with the first pair, posi-
tion and terminate each
subsequent pair one at a
time until termination is
complete.
Snap strain relief
caps.The connector is
now ready to be snapped
into any QuickPort hous-
ing or wallplate
• Use a Leviton UTP Stripping Tool or equivalent to strip
the jacket
• Follow the color code, matching up like colored wires
to their counterparts locations on the jack. Use ONL
Y
the T568A wiring pattern, as shown on the lower por-
tion of the jack label, when wiring the jack.
• Untwist each cable pair a maximum of 1/2 of an inch
from the termination point
• Use a Leviton D814 Wire Punchdown/Termination
Tool or equivalent for inserting the cable into the jack
and trimming off the ends, one pair at a time, starting
at the rear of the jacks with the blue pair.
Installer’s Tip: Leviton’s plastic coaster for holding jacks
punchdown provides a flat, level surface for punching
down cable and cutting off the ends on the jacks. The
coaster fits in your pocket and is readily available
when you don’t have a convenient work surface.
9.1.2 Terminating Coax Connectors
What You’ll Need:
• RG-6 Quad Shield Compression or Crimp
Connectors
• RG-6 Quad Shield Stripping Tool
• RG-6 Quad Shield Compression or Crimping Tool
depending on type of connectors. Leviton recom-
mends Compression connectors and tool.
• Cut the cable to allow for adequate service loop (24
inches at wallplate locations. Use the RG6 quad
shield cable stripper, properly adjusted, to strip off
the correct amount of cable sheath, shields, and
foam insulation. The exposed wire core should be
about 3/8-inch in length. The exposed shield should
be 1/4-inch in length
• Fold the outside braided shield evenly back along
the cable sheath, and insert the connector onto the
cable end
• For compression fit connectors, make sure the foam
core seats flush against the inside end of the con-
nector.You can see the foam core position by looking
in the threaded end of the connector. Place the con-
nector and cable into the compression tool, and ac-
tuate the tool to install the connector onto the cable.
Check to make sure the center conductor is straight
and extends 1/8-inch beyond the threaded end of
the connector
• For crimp style connectors, make sure the foam core
seats flush against the inside end of the connector.
You can see the foam core position by looking in the
threaded end of the connector
• Place the connector into the crimp tool at the proper
position according to tool instructions, and crimp the
connector onto the cable
• Check to make sure the center conductor is straight
and extends 1/8-inch beyond the threaded end of
the connector
Leviton recommends RG-6 quad shield coax cable for
your TV and video installations. It can be terminated
using the any of the following:
• Compression F-connector
• Crimp-on F-Connector
• CaP Connector (See product management)
