Extron XTP DTP 24, XTP DTP 24 Plug Owner's manual

  • Hello! I am an AI chatbot trained to assist you with the Extron XTP DTP 24 Owner's manual. I’ve already reviewed the document and can help you find the information you need or explain it in simple terms. Just ask your questions, and providing more details will help me assist you more effectively!
  • What type of cable does the Extron XTP DTP 24 utilize?
    What is the acceptable range of insulated conductor diameter for the XTP DTP 24 plug kit?
    Can I use a strain relief or heat shrink with the XTP DTP 24 cable?
    How far from the cable end should I make the circular score?
    Should I trim the exposed twisted pair wires before inserting them into the plastic guide?
    How much of the wires should be exposed above the guide before inserting into the RJ-45 connector?
    What is the proper orientation when inserting the guide and wires into the RJ-45 connector?
    How can I ensure correct grounding throughout the cable?
1. Optional: Slide a strain relief or heat shrink
over the cable. The strain relief and heat shrink
are not included.
2. Make a circular score around the cable jacket
at approximately 1.25 inches (31.8mm) from
the end of the cable. Use the rip cord to
remove the jacket, then cut the rip cord.
3. Remove the foil and mylar shielding (if present)
from the end of the cable.
4. Turn the cable over and fold and atten the
braid against the bottom of the cable jacket for
grounding purposes (see note in step 11).
NOTE: In the gure to the right, the cable is
viewed from beneath, so the wires are in
reverse order.
5. Separate and untwist the four exposed twisted
pair wires and trim (but do not strip) the wires
to 0.8inch (20.3 mm).
6. Arrange and lay at the eight wires in the
correct order to comply with the TIA/EIA 568B
wiring standard (see the table at right).
NOTE: Plenum cable does not have a
stripe on the white conductor.
XTP DTP 24 Plug Kit for XTP DTP 24 Cable with CTU 45
The Extron Shielded XTP DTP 24 RJ-45 Plug kit terminates XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair
cable. The plug can accommodate 22 AWG to 28 AWG solid or stranded wires. The insulated
conductor diameter must be in the range of 0.044 to 0.048inch.
The following tools are required to complete a fully shielded cable assembly:
This guide provides instructions for completing a fully shielded cable assembly. To terminate
XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable, follow these steps:

7. Feed the individual wires, in the correct order
(see table on the previous page), through the
open front face of the plastic guide and out
through the individual holes at the other side.
The rear of the guide should be seated against
the end of the jacket and braid.
8. Cut the wires to 0.6 inch (15.2 mm) as shown
at right.
9. Push the guide up, leaving 0.3 inch of the
wires exposed above the guide (see image at
right).
10. Insert the guide and wires into the RJ-45
connector, making sure the wires pass the
crimping teeth of the connector.
NOTE: Ensure the wires are in the correct
order (see table on the previous page)
and the bottom of the connector is next
to the braid shield that was folded under
the cable in step 4.
11. Insert the connector into the termination tool
and crimp it to secure the connector to the
cable. Be sure to insert the connector properly,
with the pins on top (see image at right).
NOTES:
• The CTU 45 tool crimps the front of
the connector, the jacket, and the
strain relief.
• To ensure correct grounding
throughout the cable, the braid shield
(folded back in step 4) must make
contact with the shielded RJ-45
connector on both ends of the cable.
12. If a strain relief is present, slide it forward to
cover the cable and the rst 0.4inch
(10.2 mm) of the RJ-45 connector.
13. Test both ends of the cable for conductivity.
NOTE: If there is a need to re-terminate the
cable, cut off the terminated end of the
cable and repeat steps 2 through 12.
