Step 8: Preserve the wire pair twists as close as possible<br />

to the point of termination. When connecting jacks and<br />

plugs, do not untwist the cable more than 0.5 inches<br />

for Category 5e, 6 and 6A cable.<br />

Helpful Hint:<br />

• A half of an inch of an untwisted wire pair results<br />

in 1.5 dB of near-end crosstalk.<br />

Step 9: Insert wires down into IDC terminal slots to<br />

position them before punching down. Maintain the twist.<br />

To “future-proof” an installation, terminate all four pairs.<br />
