Hello! I've reviewed the datasheet for the Black Box Category 6 Modular Shielded Plugs, including models FMTP6S-10PAK, FMTP6S-25PAK, FMTP6S-50PAK, FMTP6S-100PAK and FMTP6S-250PAK. This document details the plugs' specifications, such as their tensile strength, gold plating, and temperature range, as well as step-by-step installation instructions. I am ready to answer any questions you may have about these plugs.
What is the tensile strength of these plugs?

What is the gold plating on the contacts?

What is the operating temperature range for these plugs?

6. Push the cable and wires all the way into the plug. Make sure the wires reach

the end position and are under the contact blade. The cable jacket should be

under the plug’s main strain relief.

7. Use a crimping tool to crimp the plug and wires.

8. Wrap the excess drain wire around the shielded tab on back of plug and crimp

to secure.

9. Trim the excess drain wire.
