•

rubber-strain relief boot that fits inside the backshell

•

twist lock (also known as a quarter turn), ensuring that it’s facing in 
the correct direction.

3. Trim and prepare the wires for soldering to the connector body.
4. Install the ferrite beads on the appropriate wires.
5. Terminate the cable, as described below.

To terminate the cable:

1. Terminate and solder the appropriate wires to the appropriate pins.
