jack?
A. Leviton Voice & Data has three different connectors. Two are wired the same way: the Category 5 Power Sum connector and the
GigaMax
TM
connector. See the diagram below for wiring directions:
The eXtreme
TM
connector is a proposed Category 6 connector and is wired differently.
Follow these general directions to terminate all three types of connectors:
1. Strip 2" of cable jacket and position first pair according to color code. The
center channel lets you preserve wire twisting to less than .5" from the
termination point.
2. Set 110-tool to low impact setting and turn cutting edge outward to
terminate first pair. The patented cutting ledge trims the wire as you
terminate, saving you a step.
3. As with the first pair, position and terminate each subsequent pair one at a
time until termination is complete.
4. Snap on strain relief caps. The connector is now ready to be snapped into
any QuickPort housing or wallplate.

Q. Whats the difference between a keyed jack and a non-keyed jack?
A.
Modular, non-keyed 8 position connectors accept standard (non-keyed) 8 position patch cords
Modular, keyed connectors accept both keyed and non-keyed 8-position patch cords. A keyed connector is shaped to
accommodate the keyed male plug, which has a small, square notch on its end. A keyed plug will not fit into a female non-
keyed connector.
Unless a keyed connector is called out in a specification, it is usually assumed the parts needed are non-keyed.
Q. What is UTP Cable?
A.
UTP stands for "unshielded twisted pair". It is a cable type
with one or more pairs of twisted insulated copper
conductors contained in a single sheath. It is the most
common type of cabling used in desktop communications
applications.
Q. Why should I use home run or star topology wiring as
opposed to daisy chain wiring?
A. A Star Topology has been defined as the standard for
horizontal cabling in accordance with TIA/EIA-568-A. Star
Topology calls for workstations to be wired directly to a
central equipment hub that establishes, maintains and
breaks connections between workstations. When a star
topology is used, it is much easier to locate and isolate
wiring problems than it is with daisy chain wiring. The most
common means of star wiring is a telephone PBX.
