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

About the Termination Instructions

These Termination Instructions are intended solely for terminating Gore’s 4-pair Cat6A Ethernet cables with the socket and pin versions of the ITT Cannon OctoGig™ Connector System. They first detail the tools and materials you’ll need, which include:

  • Male connector pin (980-2002-551)
  • Female connector socket (980-2002-552)
  • Soft-jawed pliers, flush cutters, hand strippers and round cable cutters
  • Sharpie, plastic pick, tweezers, small scissors, braid brush and ruler
  • Digital Calipers with .001-inch precision or better
