Termination Instructions: GORE^® Ethernet Cables & Bel Stewart SS-39200 Series Connector System

Please note: While these Termination Instructions offer a helpful guide, they should always be used alongside current connector system manufacturing instructions for best results.

These Termination Instructions are intended solely for terminating Gore’s 4-pair Cat6A Ethernet cables and wires with the plug version of the Bel Stewart SS-39200 Series Connector System. They first detail the tools and materials you’ll need, which include:

• Bel Stewart Crimpers (2980075-01)
• Copper foil tape (3M-3313)
• Needle nose pliers
• Scalpel
• Tweezer scissors
• Cutters

Preparing the cable, parts and plug connector, closing the connector, and performing all 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.

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

To verify the complete assembly’s performance to a wide range of Ethernet standards, Gore recommends using a Fluke Networks® DSX Series or similar model.

Terminating Gore’s wires and cables properly with connectors ensures high-speed data transmission with optimal signal integrity. These assembly termination instructions should only be used for the 4-pair design of GORE Ethernet Cables for Cat6A protocol with the plug version of the Bel Stewart SS-39200 Series Connector System.
