Category 6 Snap-In Connector Installation Instructions
INTRODUCTION: Leviton Telcom eXtreme 6 products are designed to work as a system to achieve proposed Category 6 component level
performance. The Leviton eXtreme 6 Cabling System consists of eXtreme 6 connectors and eXtreme patch cords, as well as “gigabit-rated”
cable from a Leviton eXtreme cable partner. If Category 5 components are substituted for eXtreme components, a lesser performance level
can be expected.
SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Never install communications wiring or components during a lightning storm.
2. Never install communications components in wet locations unless the components are designed specifically for use in wet
locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated wires or terminals unless the wiring has been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying communications wiring or components.
5. To prevent electrical shock, each opening must be filled with a module or blank filler.

1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
3. Do not use this product near water—e.g., near a tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a

SA
VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Remove connector from Connexus interface panel by inserting a small flat screw into top of connector/ faceplate and twist slightly.
Connector should pop out.
2. Remove about 2” of jacket from cable.
3. Determine which wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and note the associated colour codes on the label located between the IDC
connector slots. The label also includes connector pin numbers. Refer to Fig 2-1 & 2-2.
4. Route the wires for termination as shown in Fig 3-1. Terminate one pair at a time starting from the side of cable entry. Terminating
each pair after placement will prevent crushing the inside pairs with a punchdown tool (not supplied). Lay cable in so that jacket
touches edge of connector as shown.*
5. Using a 110 style impact tool set to “low” impact (not supplied), seat the wires into the IDC slots. Maintain wire pair twisting as
close as possible to the IDC contact (Must be 1⁄4” or closer). Use the cutting side of the tool to trim the excess wire flush with the
connector body. See Fig 4-1.
6. Place the caps over the terminated wires for secure connection and added strain relief. See Fig 5-1.
7. Insert connector assembly into Connexus interface. Note the “UP” position of the connector.
