SCOPE
1.1.
Content
This specification covers perform ance, test and quality requirem ents for NETCONNECT* Category 3,
Category 5e and Category 6 SL Series unshielded 110 jacks, Category 5e and Category 6 SL Series
shielded 110 jacks and plugs. These assem blies are designed for installation into various outlet plates,
surface m ount boxes, panels, and other sim ilar type fittings. Jacks incorporate IDC term inals for
term inating both shielded or unshielded twisted pair com m unications cable. Jacks will accom m odate 22
- 24 AW G solid and 24 - 26 AW G stranded conductors. The m axim um conductor insulation diam eter is
1.45 m m [.057 in]. For large OD conductors 1.27 to 1.45 m m an external strain relief m ust be used. The
plugs accom m odate Category 6 cable and shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable with 23 - 24 AW G
solid, or 24 - 26 AW G stranded conductors. The m axim um conductor insulation diam eter is 1.00 m m
[.039 in] with a cable jacket diam eter between 4.7 and 7.0 m m [.185 and .276 in].

Qualification Testing
A.
Specim en Selection
Plugs and jacks shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction Sheet and shall be
selected at random from current production. Test groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 shall each consist of 5
specim ens (plug and jack). If not specified, Category 6 plugs shall be used. Test groups 6, 7, 8, 9
and 10 shall each consist of 5 specim ens of each of the following subgroups: 1) SL Category 5e or
Category 6 jack and Category 6 plug; 2) SL Category 5e or Category 6 jack and high perform ance
plug; 3) SL Category 3 jack and 6 position plug. Test group 8, 6 position plug shall have no coring
where pins 1 and 8 are located in receiving jack, as shown in TIA-968-A Figure 6.3. Test group 11
shall consist of 5 specim ens of shielded jacks and plugs.
B.
Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing specim ens as specified in Figure 2.
4.2.
Requalification Testing
If changes significantly affecting form , fit or function are m ade to the product or m anufacturing process
or controlling industry specification, product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting
of all or part of the original testing sequence as determ ined by developm ent/product, quality and
reliability engineering.
4.3.
Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product m eets the requirem ents of Figure 1. Failures
attributed to equipm ent, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. If product
failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and sam ples resubm itted for qualification. Testing to
confirm corrective action is required before resubm ittal.

NOTE

(b)
Termination resistance of this assembly consists of plug to jack contact resistance plus
printed circuit board trace plus IDC terminal to discrete wire contact resistance. Printed circuit
board trace length varies with each jack position, therefore, significant variations in
termination resistance readings can be expected within each jack assembly.
Millivolt drop (resistance) due to wire lengths shall be subtracted from all readings.
