Termination Instructions: GORE® Ethernet Cables & LEMO® 2B Series Connector System
Technical Information, United States
W. L. Gore & Associates developed the following procedures based on our best practices for terminating our 4-pair Ethernet cables for Cat6A protocol with the LEMO® 2B Series Connector System, plug (pin) and socket versions. By following these steps, you can maximize your assembly’s performance when connected to avionics and vectronics.
Please note: While these Termination Instructions offer a helpful guide, they should always be used alongside current connector system manufacturing instructions for best results.
About the Termination Instructions
These Termination Instructions are intended solely for terminating Gore’s 4-pair Cat6A Ethernet cables with the plug (pin) and socket versions of the LEMO® 2B Series Connector System. They first detail the tools and materials you’ll need, which include:
- Needle nose pliers, scalpel, tweezer scissors, cutters and hand strippers
- Crimpers (DPC.91.701.V)
- Male positioner (DCE.91.072.BVC)
- Female positioner (DCE.91.072.BVM)
- De-insertion tool (DCF-91.070.2LT)
Preparing the cable and parts, terminating the plug and socket connectors, closing the connectors, and performing required testing are all covered thoroughly with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and visual aids, like photos and illustrations, to help you ensure proper termination.
Performing Required Testing
You should perform all required testing. Gore recommends that you complete the following steps at a minimum. You may be required to complete additional testing by local authorities and/or end-users.
- Verify proper wiring and continuity
- Check for shorts
- Verify accurate assembly length
