The Pitfalls of the Field Terminated Modular Plug
Did you know that the limit for a field terminated modular plug is
32.8ft (10 meters)? Many installers incorrectly attempt to terminate these modular plugs on both ends of a cabling drop even though the average
drop length in a residential home-run wiring system is 75ft (23 meters).
The issue is the product layout of modular plugs with contact blades used
for field termination makes them more susceptible to crosstalk. The large contact blades positioned in parallel at the "nose" of the plug form capacitive plates, which are significant sources of signal coupling (or cross-talk). Especially since at the entrance of the plug the cable pairs are untwisted
and split reducing the natural ability of the cable structure to remain immune to crosstalk interference.
Because of this Suttle recommends only using punchdowns for
horizontal cable runs. |
