Terminating shielded cable

The Tx and Rx each include two shielded RJ-45 connectors and a length of self-adhesive

shielded tape that you can use to make the STP cables that connect the transmitter and

receiver.

NOTES: • The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded twisted pair (UTP)

or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables; but, to ensure FCC Class A and CE

compliance, STP cables are required.

• Extron supplies the connectors and the shielded tape. You must supply the

CAT 5, 5e, 6, or DTP26 cable.

Terminate the STP cable as follows:

1. Peel back the cable shielding (ﬁgure 22) from the end of the cable the length of the

RJ-45 connector body (approximately 7/8 inch [2.2 cm]) and fold it back.

Peel back shield and

fold back.

2. Cut away and discard the clear cellophane inner wrapper from the end of the cable

back to the folded-over cable shielding.

3. Peel the backing off the self-adhesive shielded aluminum tape and wrap it around

the folded-over cable shielding, slightly overlapping the beginning of the tape

(ﬁgure 23).

Aluminum Tape

Wrap tape around folded foil shielding.

Slightly overlap.

Cut and save the excess tape

for other connectors.

4. Cut the unused portion of the shielded tape and retain for shielding other RJ-45

connectors.

5. Feed each individual wire into the appropriate slot of the RJ-45 connector and crimp

the cable in the normal manner, folding the tangs at the end of the connector over

the shielded tape (ﬁgure 24).
