What is a field termination plug?

1. Basic definition of field terminal plug
A connector directly installed during field construction, without the need for factory pre termination, and manually connected by construction personnel to the cable and plug.
Commonly used in wiring scenarios such as networking, industrial control, and security, it replaces the traditional "module+jumper" mode.

2. Core Features
Ready to use: eliminates modular panels and jumpers, reduces link nodes, and improves reliability.
Flexible adaptation: Supports multiple wire diameters (such as thin jumper wires or thick trunk wires) to adapt to different installation environments.
Special tools: It is necessary to use tools such as wire cutters and crimping pliers to complete the end connection, and some models can be operated repeatedly.

3. Typical application scenarios
Network cabling: Direct cabling (MPTL topology) for devices such as PoE cameras and wireless APs.
Industrial site: rapid deployment and maintenance of equipment control cabinets and sensor signals.
Temporary cabling: Network construction for short-term high flexibility needs such as exhibitions and events.

4. Differences from traditional connection methods
Traditional method: cable → module (panel) → jumper → equipment, with many nodes and high losses.
On site termination: cable → plug → equipment, simplifying the link and reducing the failure rate.

5. Examples of main types
Network category: Cat.6A field termination RJ45 plug (with shielded/unshielded).
Industrial type: M12/M8 threaded locking field plug.
Special type: Fiber optic quick connector (field grinding type).

6. Precautions for use
High process requirements: Poor termination can easily lead to signal attenuation or contact failure.
Compatibility verification: It is necessary to match the cable type (such as shielded wire with shielded plug).
Environmental protection: Waterproof and dustproof models should be selected for outdoor/industrial scenes.
