There are two network wiring standards used for CAT 6 in the UK and Ireland: T568A and T568B.

If you are adding your patch panel to an existing network, before wiring it, please check how the pins are wired to work out the wiring standard used and wire to the same standard.

If you are wiring a new network, it is recommended you use T568B, which is most commonly used.

To prepare cables and make secure connections you will need the following tools:

• Cable Cutter

• Cable Stripper

• Punch Down Tool (Krone or 110 type)

1. Strip about 38mm of the outer cable jacket, trim back any plastic insulation and rip cord, and separate the 4 twisted pairs.

2. Untwist each wire pair by about 12mm, keeping the remaining twists as tight as possible.

The patch panel terminals are color-coded for both standards. Match the wire pairs to the corresponding pins as follows:

T568A Wiring

• PAIR 4 (Green/White-Green) to Pins 3 & 6

• PAIR 2 (Blue/White-Blue) to Pins 4 & 5

• PAIR 1 (Orange/White-Orange) to Pins 1 & 2

• PAIR 3 (Brown/White-Brown) to Pins 7 & 8

T568B Wiring

• PAIR 1 (Orange/White-Orange) to Pins 1 & 2

• PAIR 2 (Blue/White-Blue) to Pins 4 & 5

• PAIR 4 (Green/White-Green) to Pins 3 & 6

• PAIR 3 (Brown/White-Brown) to Pins 7 & 8

1. Slot the cable pairs into the IDC terminals according to the color code for the standard you are using (T568A or T568B).

2. Use a Krone or 110 punch down tool to terminate the wires and trim them. Make sure the CUT side of the tool is positioned facing the outside of the patch panel module.

3. Wire all the other 23 or 47 cables to the remaining terminals.
