Step 3
After arranging the wires in the correct order, cut them back so there is about 1/2 inch available to install
in the connector.
Step 4
Push the cable into the connector so that the jacket is past the plastic wedge at the rear of the connector
and the wires are at the end of the connector underneath the gold crimping pins. Make sure each wire
goes into the appropriate location.
Step 5
Use your crimping tool to crimp the cable. Check your connection by tugging slightly on the cable.
Recrimp as necessary.
Note
When you use the crimping tool, the plastic wedge is pressed into the cable jacket to hold the
cable in place and the crimping pins are pushed down into the wires in the connector channels.
