Strain Relief Boot
 Thread boot and collar onto the cable first.
 Remove 2.0" of the outer jacket from the cable end using
wire stripping tool (CJAST).
 Remove matrix foil to expose twisted pairs.
 Fan twisted pairs into respective quadrants. The brown
pair should be opposite the orange pair.
 When a cable spline (X-shaped filler) is present, cut spline
flush to fanned pairs using wire snipping tool (CWST).
 Note orientation of the divider depending on cable end 1
or cable end 2. The "V" channel should be aligned with the
green pair.
 Insert divider posts into the cable. If the cable has an
internal spline, insert divider posts into the brown and
"V" channel
orange quadrants of the spline.
 Arrange conductors to T568B wiring scheme while
minimizing untwist and smooth conductors.
 Seat conductors into proper divider slots while holding
divider near the end of the cable jacket.
