Step 1: Remove part of the purple jacket
Remove approximately 2
.5” of
the purple jacket using the razor
knife exposing the 4 shielded
pairs and drain wire. Fold the
drain wire over onto the cable for
future use.
Step 2: Separate the 4 pairs
Separate the 4 pairs. Use the razor
knife to carefully remove the
shielding without scoring the wires
beneath it. Repeat for all 4 pairs.
Step 3: Untwist each pair
Untwist each pair and straighten
the individual conductors. Be sure
to keep each pair together so it can
be identified.
