7.7.3 Preparing the twisted pair cables
Function
The IE FC RJ45 Plugs are used to install uncrossed 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connections up to
100 m without the use of patches. Crossed cables can also be installed by swapping the
transmit and receive pair in a plug.
Prerequisite
When you set up your PROFINET system, you can cut the AWG 22 twisted pair cable on-
site to the required length, strip it with the
Fast Connect Stripping Tool
(for Industrial
Ethernet), and fit the
Industrial Ethernet FastConnect RJ-45 Plugs
using the cut-and-clamp
technique.
Proceed as follows
Contacting of the FC cable versions is simple and reliable with the 4 integrated insulation
displacement contacts.
● When the plug case is open, color markings on the contact cover make it easier to
connect the cores to the insulation piercing connecting devices. The user can check that
contact has been made correctly through the transparent plastic material of the contact
cover.
● The stripped end of the cable is inserted in the raised insulation displacement terminals
and the terminals are then pressed down to ensure reliable contacting of the conductors.
