The Pass-Through system is not just a technical convenience; it is the guarantee of absolute signal integrity. Here is how to achieve a perfect termination.
1. Preparing the Jacket
Strip about 4 cm of the outer jacket of the Cat6 cable.
Strategic Note: Using a precision stripper avoids nicking the twisted pairs, preserving the native bandwidth of the copper.
2. Alignment and Architecture (T568B Standard)
Untwist the pairs and align the wires according to the standard color code. The secret to a professional finish lies in the straightness of the wires before insertion.
| Position | Color |
| 1 | White / Orange |
| 2 | Orange |
| 3 | White / Green |
| 4 | Blue |
| 5 | White / Blue |
| 6 | Green |
| 7 | White / Brown |
| 8 | Brown |
3. The “Pass-Through” Insertion
Insert the wires into the connector. Unlike classic heads, the wires come out through the front of the plug.
- The Nexus advantage: This lets you verify the color order one last time before sealing the connector.
- Optimization: Push the cable jacket as deep as possible into the connector to minimize untwisting, which is crucial for Cat6 performance.
4. Crimping and Precision Cutting
Use a specific crimping tool for pass-through connectors. In a single squeeze, the tool:
- Crimps the gold contacts onto the conductors.
- Trims the excess wires flush with the connector.
