3. Insert the modular plug (with cable) with the
contacts facing UP into the nest until the modular
plug is firmly bottomed.
Hold the cable in place
through the termination.
NOTE
The modular plug must be inserted with the contacts
facing UP.
4. Depress and hold the foot valve until the ram
bottoms.
NOTE
Failure to bottom the ram could result in unacceptable
crimp heights or open conductors.
5. Remove the terminated modular plug after the
ram has returned to its uppermost position.
6. Inspect the terminated modular plug for proper
contact insertion, strain relief latching, and wire
location according to the following.
NOTE
Refer to the applicable Application Specification for
further modular plug inspection requirements.
— Contact crimp height meets the dimension given
in Figure 5 in order to meet Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) regulations.
— The primary strain relief is in the latched position
without apparent damage or cutting the cable
insulation.
— Wires are inserted into the correct cavities to
within the dimensions given in Figure 5 to ensure that
the contacts have pierced a sufficient wire area.

immediately upon arrival to ensure that the terminator
has not been damaged during shipping and handling
and at regularly scheduled intervals.
8.1. Daily Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the terminator
be aware of and responsible for the following steps of
daily maintenance:
Adjusting Screw Locknuts
Contact Inserter
Strain Relief Stuffer
Locking Screw
Nest Cover
Nest Securing Screw
Locking Setscrews
Adjusting Screws
Nest
1. At the end of each use, clean foreign particles
from the terminator using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth
or brush. Make sure contact stuffers and strain relief
stuffers are secured in place. Check the area under
the baseplate for foreign matter and debris.
