2. Carefully insert the bu er into the plunger of the

connector assembly until the ber bottoms against

the internal ber. See Figure 9, Detail B. Make

sure that the remaining mark on the bu er enters

the plunger. The resultant bend in the bu er should

hold the ber against the internal ber. Only a

slight bend is necessary.

It is important that the ber bottoms against, and

remains against, the internal ber. If the mark

does not enter the plunger or if the ber does not

seem to bottom against the internal ber, the

ber may be caught on internal guides. Rotating

the connector and backing the bu er out a small

amount and re--entering may help. However, if

the mark will not enter the plunger, the ber must

be re--stripped.

Make sure that the ber does not pull rearward

from the contact with the internal ber during the

crimping operation.

3. Squeeze the handles of the hand tool until the

ratchet releases. Allow the handles to open fully.

Slowly close the handles until you hear 2 clicks

from the ratchet.

4. Remove the termination cover from the

connector assembly, and retain.

5. With the connector assembly in the cable holder

assembly, position the ferrule in the upper cavity of

the front die and the plunger in the upper cavity of

the rear die. See Figure 9, Detail C.

The arrows marked on the front die indicate the

direction that the ferrule must be pointing when

the connector is positioned in that cavity. For

proper placement, and to avoid damage to the

ber, observe the direction of the arrows. Refer to

Figure 9, Detail C (also shown in Figure 10,

Detail B).

6. Gently push the bu er toward the connector

assembly to make sure that the ber is still

bottomed, then slowly squeeze the tool handles

together until the ratchet releases. Allow the

handles to open fully, and remove the connector

from the dies.

7. Open the cable clamp of the cable holder, and

straighten the cable. Close the cable clamp so that

the cable is aligned with, and tracks straight back

from, the plunger and through the cable clamp.

See Figure 10, Detail A. Make sure that the inner

eyelet is still aligned with the right--most mark on

the bu er. If necessary, adjust the position of the

jacket.

Make sure that a space of 3 to 5 mm exists

between the face of the inner eyelet (shown in

Figure 7, Detail B) and the plunger (rear of

connector assembly). Refer to Figure 10,

Detail A.

Failure to ensure that this space exists may result

in improper connector performance when mated

to a connector.

8. Position the plunger of the connector assembly

in the rst (smallest) cavity of the front die with the

knurl against the edge of the groove in the die and

the ferrule pointing in the direction of the arrow.

See Figure 10, Detail B.
9. Slowly squeeze the tool handles together until

the ratchet releases. Allow the handles to open

fully, and remove the connector assembly from the

die.
10. Slide the crimp eyelet away from the connector

assembly until the strength members are free, then

slide the crimp eyelet toward the connector until

the strength members and crimp eyelet butt

against the connector. See Figure 10, Detail C.
11. Position the crimp eyelet

against

the last cavity

of the front die with the ferrule pointing in the

direction of the arrow. Make sure that the

connector assembly is butted against the die. The

crimp eyelet will move into the cavity when the dies

are closed. See Figure 11, Detail A. Slowly

squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet

releases. Allow the handles to open fully. Remove

the connector assembly from the die.
12. Install the termination cover onto connector

assembly.
13. Cut the strength members ush with the crimp

sleeve. Slide the strain relief over the plunger until

the strain relief butts against the connector

assembly. See Figure 11, Detail B.
14. Remove the connector assembly from the

cable holder assembly.
15. Align the key of the connector housing with the

chamfered edges of the connector assembly, and

slide the housing over the assembly until it snaps

in place. See Figure 11, Detail C.

DO NOT force the components together. They

are designed to t only one way.

The assembly procedure for 2.5-- to 3.0--mm loose

jacketed cable is now complete.

"

If connecting connectors, refer to Paragraph 5.5.
