We would be remiss not to share this pair of evergreen, chapter-and-verse Category 6a termination tutorials from two of the cabling installation industry's authoritative experts, Platinum Tools and Panduit.

The following video from Panduit very ably demonstrates how to terminate a shielded Category 6A jack with FTP cabling. And it is accompanied by a lovely classical music soundtrack. (George Winston?)
