Fully shielded products provide reduced pair-to-pair crosstalk, alien crosstalk, and considerably improved immunity to noise at all frequencies. Significantly improve Shannon capacity. Substantially improve noise immunity at all frequencies, especially above 30 MHz when cable balance starts to significantly degrade.

For those who would like to understand more about RJ45 plugs and why there can be such a great deal of confusion surrounding them, please read What is an RJ45 Connector? Now, pop the jacket open at the score and remove the jacket. Keep the jacket piece. It will be a free tool for at least five minutes. I promise. Peel open the cable shield.

Make a tiny nip in the cable shield and remove it. Don't accidentally cut off the ESD drain wire in this process, as you will need it. There are essentially two ways of bonding the cable shield to this internal ground plug. Fold the cable shield backward, and then you will use the cable shield as the bonding point.

We will remove the cable shield and wrap the drain wire around the cable jacket and tack it down with one of the copper fabric strips for this demonstration. Either way will work, but the fabric strip makes it easier. Fully cut off the waterproof tape. Don't accidentally nick a conductor or cut off the ESD drain wire in this process! Untwist time. You can toss your free tool when done.

Check to be certain the conductors are untwisted as much as practical, but not more than necessary. In other words, right down to the cable jacket but no further.

All untwisted Remember that glove and metal rod? All straightened out. Ready to put into either TA or TB sequence. Put the conductors into the proper color sequence. I am using TB. Keep the cable jacket area "clean" and neat.

Locate a good spot, about 1. TB sequence shown. I like to work from the top down if I can —White-orange at the top and solid brown at the bottom. Here is a handy reference for you. When looking at the conductor color sequence, be sure you understand the orientation of the plug itself!

Yes, it is quite possible to get the sequence correct and put the plug upside down. I have done it, so don't be a Don. Use only light pressure and then press the tool lever fully downward. Check to be sure all eight golden contacts are down and the conductors are fully flush cut. All done! So, there you have a Cat5e shielded internal ground RJ45 connector on your cable now. Something not right? Your cable not performing your expectations?

You could have a bad or poorly terminated RJ45 plug.
