Extron® Shielded DTP RJ-45 Plug for DTP26 Cable Termination Kit
The Extron Shielded DTP RJ-45 Connector kit terminates shielded CAT 5e, CAT 6e, CAT 7, 
and DTP26 cable. The connector can accommodate solid and stranded conductors with an 
outside diameter in the range of 0.037 to 0.042 inches. 
The kit contains connectors and guides and provides a method to complete a fully shielded 
cable assembly. To terminate shielded cable, follow these steps:
1.  Optional: Slide a strain relief or heat shrink over the cable. The strain relief and heat 
shrink are not included.
2.  Strip approximately 1.25 inches (31.8 mm) of the cable jacket from the end of the cable.

3.  Strip approximately 0.8 inches (20.3 mm) of foil shielding from the end of the cable 
(CAT 7 and DTP26 cables only).
4.  Separate the four exposed twisted pair wires and trim (but do not strip) the wires to 
0.8 inches (20.3 mm).

5.  Arrange and lay flat the eight wires in the correct order to 
comply with TIA/EIA 568A or 568B wiring standard (see the 
chart at right). The cables shown in this guide comply with the 
568A standard.
NOTES:  Plenum cable does not have a stripe 
on the white conductor. Use the foil shield to 
identify and group the colored conductors. 
The cables must be terminated to one 
of these wiring standards at each end. 
Straight-through cables must be terminated 
to the same standard at each end. The 
figures in this guide show the 568A standard.
6.  Turn the cable over and flatten the braid against the bottom of the cable.

order.
