1. SCOPE
1.1. Content
This specification covers per formance, test and quality requirements for NETCONNECT* Category 3,
Categor y 5e and Category 6 SL Series unshielded 110 jacks, Cat egory 5e and Categor y 6 SL Series
shi elded 110 jacks and plugs. These assemblies are desi gned for installation into various outlet plates,
surf ace mount boxes, panels, and other similar type fittings. Jacks incorporate IDC terminals for
ter minating both shielded or unshi elded tw isted pair communications cable. Jacks will accommodate 22
- 24 AWG solid and 24 - 26 AWG stranded conductors. The max imum conductor insulation diameter is
1.45 mm [.057 in]. For large OD conductors 1.27 to 1.45 mm an external strain relief must be used. The
pl ugs accommodate Category 6 cabl e and shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable with 23 - 24 AWG
sol id, or 24 - 26 AWG stranded conductors. The maximum conductor insulation di ameter is 1.00 mm
[. 039 in] w ith a cable jacket diameter between 4.7 and 7.0 mm [.185 and .276 in].
1.2. Qualification
When tests are performed on the subject product line, procedures specified in Figure 1 shall be used.
Al l i nspections shall be performed using the appli cable inspection plan and product drawing.

4.1. Qual ification Testi ng
A. Speci men Selecti on
Pl ugs and jacks shall be prepared in accordance wi th applicable Instruction Sheet and shall be
sel ected at random from current production. Test groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 shall each consist of 5
speci mens (plug and jack). If not specified, Category 6 plugs shall be used. T est groups 6, 7, 8, 9
and 10 shal l each consi st of 5 specimens of each of the followi ng subgroups: 1) SL Category 5e or
Categor y 6 jack and Category 6 plug; 2) SL Category 5e or Category 6 jack and high performance
pl ug; 3) SL Category 3 jack and 6 position plug. Test group 11 shall consist of 5 specimens of
shi elded jacks and plugs.
B. Test Sequence
Qual ification inspection shall be verified by testing specimens as speci fied in Figure 2.
4.2. Requal ification Testi ng
If changes significantly affecting form, fit or function are made to the product or manufacturing process
or cont rolling industry specification, product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting
of all or part of the original testing sequence as determined by development/ product, quality and
reliability engineering.
4.3. Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product meets t he requirements of Figure 1. Failures
att ributed to equipment, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. If product
failur e occurs, corrective action shall be taken and samples resubmitted for qualification. Testing to
confirm correct ive action is required before resubmittal.
4.4. Qual ity Conformance Inspection
The applicable quality inspection plan shall specify t he sampling acceptable qual ity level to be used.
Di mensional and f unctional requirements shall be in accordance with the applicable product dr awing and
this specif ication.

(a) Termination resistance of this assembly consists of plug to jack contact resistance plus
NOTE
printed circuit board trace plus IDC t erminal to discrete wire contact resistance. Pri nted circuit
board t race length varies with each jack positi on, therefore, significant variati ons in terminati on
resistance readings can be expected wit hin each jack assembly.
(b) Millivolt drop ( resist ance) due to wire lengt hs shall be subtract ed from all readings.
