Telephone Cable Assembly
To assemble
telephone cable:
1. For 4- & 6-pin
connectors, strip
approximately
1/4” of the outer
insulation off the
cable. For 8- &
10-pin connec-
tors, strip approx-
imately 1/2” of
the outer
insulation off the
cable.
2. Do not strip the
insulation off the
smaller internal
wires.
3. For flat cables, slide the wires into the connector.
Make sure the wire ends are butting against the very
front edge of the connector & that all wires are
located under the pins.
4. For round cable (twisted pair), arrange the wires in
pairs based on the color. Verify the wiring pin-out
required for the system. Typically pairing is either
1-to-1, or is paired for pins 1 & 2, 3 & 6, 4 & 5, & 7
& 8 (for EIA standard). The equipment connecting to
the cable determines the wiring pin-out.
5. When the wires are arranged for the correct pin-out,
slide the wires into the connector. Make sure the wire
ends are butting against the front edge of the con-
nector.
6. Install the cable/connector assembly into the crimp
tool. Crimp the connector to force the pins into the
wires & to engage the strain relief on the cable.
