Termination Instructions: GORE^® Ethernet Cables & LEMO^® 2B Series Connector System

Please note: While these Termination Instructions offer a helpful guide, they should always be used alongside current connector system manufacturing instructions for best results.

These Termination Instructions are intended solely for terminating Gore’s 4-pair Cat6A Ethernet cables with the plug (pin) and socket versions of the LEMO® 2B Series Connector System. They first detail the tools and materials you’ll need, which include:

• Needle nose pliers, scalpel, tweezer scissors, cutters and hand strippers
• Crimpers (DPC.91.701.V)
• Male positioner (DCE.91.072.BVC)
• Female positioner (DCE.91.072.BVM)
• De-insertion tool (DCF-91.070.2LT)

Preparing the cable and parts, terminating the plug and socket connectors, closing the connectors, and performing required testing are all covered thoroughly with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and visual aids, like photos and illustrations, to help you ensure proper termination.

You should perform all required testing. Gore recommends that you complete the following steps at a minimum. You may be required to complete additional testing by local authorities and/or end-users.

• Verify proper wiring and continuity
• Check for shorts
• Verify accurate assembly length

Terminating Gore’s wires and cables properly with connectors ensures high-speed data transmission with optimal signal integrity. These assembly termination instructions should only be used for the 4-pair design of GORE Ethernet Cables for Cat6A protocol with the plug (pin) and socket versions of the LEMO® 2B Series Connector System.

Request a complimentary sample of our Ethernet cables for prototyping and evaluation in your application. If you’re ready to buy, contact a trusted distributor for in-stock availability.
