NE8MX6-T CAT6A Cable Connector

Product Information: etherCON NE8MX6-T & NE8MX6-B-T CAT6A
Cable Connector

The etherCON NE8MX6-T & NE8MX6-B-T CAT6A Cable Connector is
a high-performance connector for transmitting digital audio and
video signals in a variety of applications. It features a robust
design that ensures reliable performance and easy installation. The
connector is compatible with solid and stranded wire and supports
AWG 26/1 – AWG 24/1 (solid) and AWG 27/7 – AWG 24/7 (stranded) wire
sizes.

Tools Required for Assembly

HX-CAT6A or pliers wrench
Wire cutter
Cable pulling lubricant

Product Usage Instructions

Slide the boot (1.) and the chuck (2.) onto the cable. To ease
the boot assembly, apply some cable pulling lubricant to the cable
ends.
Prepare the cable as shown and strip the jacket at a length of
40 mm.

S / FTP: Cut off braided shield to approx 10 mm and fold the
shield backwards.
U / FTP: Remove the foil of the paired wires and bend back the
drain wire for easier handling during assembly. Drain wire to be
used for grounding.
SF / UTP: Cut off braided shield to approx 10 mm and fold the
shield backwards. Cut and remove the foil screen.

Remove the pair screening (if existing) to max. 6 mm.

Presort and untwist the pairs as shown.

Insert the wires into the designated position of the wire
management as per below wiring scheme, either T568A or T568B.

Use HX-CAT6A or pliers wrench to press the wire management
together. Attention: Distance between the cable jacket and the wire
management shall not exceed 15 – 17 mm.

Cut all wires with a wire cutter. Allow wires to protrude max.
0.5 mm.

Position the ground-shells over the wires as shown. Attention:
Align the coding nibs of the ground shells to the grooves in
between the wire pairs in the wire management.

Put the cable-shield over the ground shell and distribute the
shield wires circumferentially. Put the drain wire over the ground
shell and wrap the drain wire circumferentially.

Slide the chuck over the cable-shield / drain wire and the
ground shell towards the end-position. Attention: Align the slots
of the chuck to the ribs of the ground shell.

Slide the pre-assembled cable (step G) into the housing.
Attention: Align the side of the wire management with wire numbers
1/2, 8/7 to the side of the housing that has the Neutrik logo and
the slot. Slide the gasket onto the chuck.

Finish the installation by turning the bushing onto the
connector.
