Guidelines

The following tips are recommended when preparing  

and terminating the 3M cable 7700 series.

Preparation

•   Take care to keep the new cut edge of 3M cable 

7700 series perpendicular to the outer edge  

of the cable for easier termination to connectors.

•   Do not allow blades to slice or scrape into  

polyolefin insulation.

•   Cycling step five 2-3 times may aid removing  

the foil covering for increased conductor count  

cable samples.

Termination

•   Push connector outer wall flush against covering,  

but leaving a minimal gap of exposed  

ribbon cable.

•   Do not allow foil covering to connect to insulation  

displacement contacts.

•   To maintain 3M socket assembly 451 series integrity,  

excess foil covering must be removed for clearance  

under socket assembly ears.

Inspection

•   Insulation of exposed ribbon cable should not be 

scrapped or sliced. See Figure 13. 

•   Any remaining foil covering on sides of prepared 

cable should be removed. See Figure 14. 

•   Insulation around the conductors should not  

be pierced. See Figure 15.
