Terminating the Plug Connector (Termination A)
1. Slide one piece of the TAT onto the cable.
2. Measure and mark the cable 1.0 inch from the plug end of
the cable (Figure 11).

3. Using a scalpel or scissors, slit the cable’s jacket from its edge
to the mark (Figure 12).
4. Using needle-nose pliers, gently pull the outer jacket down
the cable until you have exposed approximately 2 inches of
braid (Figure 13).
5. With your fingers, push the braid back over the cable to expose
approximately 2 inches of the foil (Figure 14).
6. Remove the white filler as far down as possible.
7. Mark each pair 0.9 inch from the end of the cable (Figure 15).
8. Cut a 0.5-inch piece of copper or polyimide tape for each
pair of the cable. Wrap a piece around each pair at the mark
made in Step 7, making sure that the foil shield is as tight as
possible (Figure 16).
