Assembly of Coaxial Cable
If your installation has coaxial cable (part 323921 for
inside use or part 5252750 for outside use), use the
following procedures to attach it to the connectors.
1. Ensure that the connector has all of the parts
needed. Look at the Figure below for location of
the cable layers.

2. Cut squarely through the jacket, shield, and
insulation, to show 9.5 millimeters (0.38 inch) of
the conductor. Slide the nut onto the cable.
3.

Insert the conductor into the tapered,
self-clamping sleeve and contact; force the edge
of the self-clamping sleeve between the insulator
and shield until insulation is well onto the taper.
Solder the conductor to the contact at the solder
hole.
CAUTION
Remove the extra solder from the outside of the
contact.
4. Fit the contact into the plug body; screw the nut
into the body, to bind the jacket and shield tightly
against the self-clamping sleeve.
CAUTION
Do not let the cable twist as the nut is tightened.
5. Check for short circuits between the plug body
and the conductor.
