1. Slip the crimp ferrule onto the cable. Push it back to the sheath area to keep it out of the way for the
moment.
2. Place the center pin over the center conductor. Make sure that the center pin slips completely onto
the center conductor. The back shoulder of the center pin should be up against the white
insulation. If it is not, recheck the length of the center conductor.
3. With the center pin in place, use the crimp tool to crimp the pin completely onto the center
connector. (The smaller hexagonal notch on the crimp tool is for crimping the center pin onto the
center connector.)
4. Slide the ControlNet connector onto the cable.
5. Without any inward pressure, move the connector in a circular motion to work the connector base
underneath the three outer shields. Once a gap has opened up between the inner shield tape and
the three outer shields, start applying inward pressure to seat the connector base under the three
outer shields (braid/tape/braid). NOTE: The shield wires are pliable and may fray slightly.
