7.8.3 Preparing the twisted pair cables
Function
The IE FC RJ45 Plugs are used to install uncrossed 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connections up to 100 m
without the use of patches. Crossed cables can also be installed by swapping the transmit and
receive pair in a plug.
Prerequisite
When you set up your PROFINET system, you can cut the AWG 22 twisted pair cable on-site to the
required length, strip it with the Fast Connect Stripping Tool (for Industrial Ethernet), and t
the Industrial Ethernet FastConnect RJ-45 Plugs using the cut-and-clamp technique.
Proceed as follows
Contacting of the FC cable versions is simple and reliable with the 4 integrated insulation
displacement contacts.
• When the plug case is open, color markings on the contact cover make it easier to connect
the cores to the insulation piercing connecting devices. The user can check that contact has
been made correctly through the transparent plastic material of the contact cover.
• The stripped end of the cable is inserted in the raised insulation displacement terminals and
the terminals are then pressed down to ensure reliable contacting of the conductors.
