Terminating a Cat6 Plug - This video shows how to terminate a Cat 6 end or Cat 6 Plug. The Cat6 plug is the male end of the cable in comparison to the Cat6 module which is the female end.  Unlike the Cat6 cable patch panels and modules the plugs don’t have a colour code to follow.  However the plug needs to follow the same core numbers that would be found on both the panel and the module. This is shown with the 8 core numbers running from left to right with the clip in connector facing down.
