L-com TSP6088 Cat6A RJ45 Crimp Plugs — 100-Pack
The L-com TSP6088 is an unshielded RJ45 crimp plug for terminating compatible Ethernet cable. Its 8-position, 8-contact configuration and Category 6A rating make it suitable for building properly specified network cable assemblies.
The staggered-contact design supports both solid and stranded conductors within the specified insulation diameter range. A load bar assists conductor positioning, while the integrated slim boot provides strain relief and latch protection.
Key Features
- Category 6A RJ45 8P8C plug.
- Supports compatible solid and stranded conductors.
- Two-prong contact design.
- 50 micro-inches of gold contact plating.
- Integrated strain relief and latch protection.
- 100 plugs per package.
Cable Selection
Check both insulated conductor diameter and overall cable diameter before ordering. Cable category and wire gauge alone do not establish a suitable fit.
Termination
Use the manufacturer-recommended crimp tool and follow the assembly instructions. Maintain the selected wiring scheme, minimize pair untwist and test the completed cable assembly.
Network Performance
The plug is a component of the completed cabling system. Achievable Ethernet speed depends on the cable, terminations, channel length and connected equipment. The connector alone does not guarantee 10 Gigabit operation.
Ideal Applications
- Building compatible unshielded Ethernet cable assemblies.
- LAN installation and cable repair.
- Network cabling projects requiring multiple Cat6A terminations.
Compatible Products
Cable compatibility requires all of the following:
- Solid or stranded conductors suitable for the contact design.
- Insulated conductor outside diameter of 0.037–0.042 inches, approximately 0.940–1.067 mm.
- Overall cable outside diameter of 0.240–0.250 inches, approximately 6.096–6.350 mm.
Confirmed Crimp Tool: L-com HTS7508C6. L-com specifically recommends this tool for TSP6088 terminations.
Important: The conductor diameter requirement includes insulation; it is not the diameter of the bare copper conductor. Do not select cable using AWG alone.
Important: TSP6088 is unshielded. Use a suitable shielded connector when shield continuity is required. Do not substitute the tooling or cable-fit requirements of TSP6088S or other similar-looking plugs.
