Estudo de caso do processo de crimpagem de conectores do tipo RJ-45

Abstract

With the growing technological development in the area of structured networks, there is an increasing demand for robust cabling systems. Associated with the search for the quality of these structured systems, there is a need to make patch cords that transmit a greater amount of data and without electrical interference. These interferences can originate from the connection point between the cable and the connector. Currently, the process of installing the connector on the cable can be carried out manually or with the aid of semi-automatic presses. This paper addresses a real case study in the area of patch cord manufacturing, which has presented the need to develop a study that would aim to reduce the rate of refuse in the plant. Through the modeling of a solution based on materials and production, the goal of the study is to analyze and propose improvements for the production line of patch cords for telecommunications, through the improvement of their connectorization process, that is, crimping of connectors of the type RJ-45. As a result of the research, it was proposed to use a new crimping tool, from a new supplier, it was also identified other causes for line problems related to the environment and organization, for all problems found, technical proposals were made in order to take improvement to the production line.
