A quick video to show you how to terminate a Cat6 cable and module. This is the method for a cat6 termination of a cat6 module. It is also referred to as an RJ45 Cat6 connector. This will fit into a faceplate as part of a Cat6 wall socket or floor box. 
The video shows the Cat6 RJ45 wiring on the module and how it matches with the coloured cores of the cable. As with all Cat6 termination special care is to be taken with the twists in the cores during termination. Likewise with securing the cable into the module so that it cannot be disturbed after termination.
