• Thread boot and collar onto cable.
• Remove 1.5" of the outer jacket from the cable end using wire
stripping tool (CJAST).
• Cut foil flush with cable jacket end. If cable is braided, form
into a drain wire. Bend the drain wire back so it is against the
cable jacket.
• Fan twisted pairs into respective quadrants. The brown pair
should be opposite the green pair.
• When a cable spline (X-shaped filler) is present, cut spline
flush to fanned pairs using wire snipping tool (CWST).
