• Thread boot and collar onto cable.
• Remove 1.5" of the outer jacket using wire stripping tool 

(CJAST).

• Cut foil flush with cable jacket. If cable is braided, form braid 

into a drain wire. Bend the drain wire back so it is against the 
cable jacket.

• Fan twisted pairs into respective quadrants. The brown pair 

should be opposite the orange pair.

• Cut spline flush to fanned pairs using wire snipping tool 

(CWST).
