Systimax Connector Wiring Guide
Systimax Connector Wiring Guide, cont’d
Installation
1. 
Determine which wiring scheme (T568A
or T568B) to use. Note the associated 
color codes 
on the two labels located on
the sides of the connector. The labels 
also include the connector pin numbers.
2. Remove about 1" (25 mm) of the cable
jacket. If the cable includes a center 
spline (stiff wire separator inside the
cable), remove it also.
3. Route the wires for termination using
the color code in the table at right. See 
the table for hole (h) and slot (s) wire
routing designations.
4. Insert the wire pairs into the connector
body with the brown and blue wires 
inserted into the right side slot (s) and hole (h), respectively. 
The orange and green wires are inserted into the left side 
hole (h) and slot (s). Refer to the above table.
5. Pull the wires tight so that the cable jacket ends at the connector
body. Avoid twisting the wires. Carefully seat the wires into the wire 
terminals without any crossover or rearrangement.
Be sure that there is enough slack in the twisted pairs, and do not 
place the cable jacket into the termination field.
    For some cables, wires for pin numbers 2, 4, 6, and 8   
 may have a white stripe. This is equivalent to cables with 
   solid wires for the same pin numbers.  
6. If you are using an impact tool with the M110 blade, set the tool
to HI impact, and position it perpendicular to the connector. 
Otherwise, align the insertion cap prongs with the grooves of
the connector body and firmly press the insertion cap into the 
connector body until the cap snaps into place.
7. Using wire cutters, trim any excess protruding wires flush with 
the connector body. See diagram at right.
8.  An icon insert (included) can be inserted in the front face of 
the connector if desired, as shown below.
