Crimping instructions
never insert uncrimped plugs into
the sockets.
Doing so may cause damage to
the socket contacts. Crimped plugs
should insert easily into sockets
until the locking tab clicks into place.
Plugs that have been incorrectly
crimped may be difficult to insert,
and may cause damage to the
socket contacts if forced into place.
Step 1

take care to ensure the ends are cut
square.
Step 2

Insert the cable between the stripper
blades of the crimping tool so that it
touches the metal stop.
•
squeeze the handles and pull the tool
to remove the cables outer sheath
and expose the insulated inner
conductors.
•
Ensure the insulation on the inner
conductors is not damaged.
Cable connections are polarity
conscious.
It is essential that every cable
termination for each installation is
performed with the coloured inner
conductors in the same order and
position in the plug. any two cable
ends should appear identical if held
side by side (provided they are of
the same cable type - i.e. shielded or
unshielded).
Step 3
•
Insert a plug into the plug holder
of the crimping tool. It will click into
place.
•

the plug, taking care to ensure the
coloured inner conductors are in the
same order and position each time.
•
Squeeze the handles firmly to set the
contacts and secure the cable.
