terminated block according to the color sequence shown
in Figure 43. Make sure each pair keeps its twist up to the
index strip. (Each pair is split by a raised tooth on the
index strip.)
d. Use the 788J1 impact tool to seat and trim the conductors
(see Figure 48). Make sure the blade edge is positioned
properly: blade up for rows 1 and 3, blade down for
rows 2 and 4.
e. Continue seating and trimming conductors from left to
right for each row.
Note: The last two right-hand slots must remain vacant.
f. Reverse the blade edge on the 788J1 impact tool and use
the tool to seat the connecting blocks on each index strip
(see Figure 49). Make sure the slate strip on each
connecting block is facing down.
8. As shown on the template, mount the wire troughs on
column 2 after all the field-terminated blocks have been
wired.
9. Mount the D-rings between the columns as needed to dress
the patch cords.
10. Plug one end of a D8W cord into the proper CU module
station jack and the other end into the corresponding jack on
the termination block in column 1 or column 3. Repeat for all
the D8W cords.
11. Dress the D8W cords through the wire trough above the
termination block (see Figure 44).
Note: Each kit has extra D-rings and wire troughs. Use them
as needed to dress the cords.
