The following procedures are based on Gore's best practices
for terminating GORE Aerospace Ethernet Cables with the TE

Connectivity CeeLok FAS-X

socket versions. These procedures should be used as a guide in
conjunction with current connector manufacturing instructions.
Preparing the Cable and Parts
1. Gather the tools and materials required for assembly and
termination (Figures 1–8).
2. Verify that you have the correct parts for your assembly by
checking the part numbers for the connectors and the GORE
Aerospace Ethernet Cables listed on drawing DDA0238.
3. Cut two 1.5-inch pieces of 5/8-inch, thin-walled adhesive-lined
tubing (TAT).
4. Cut the cable to the desired assembly length minus 4.3
centimeters (cm) to allow for length of the connectors (i.e.,
2.0 cm for the plug connector and 2.3 cm for the receptacle
connector).
5. Print any labels required by the end-user, and slide the center
label onto the cable.
6. To identify the end for the pin connector, place a piece of tape
on the end in which the pairs rotate clockwise in order of
green orange blue
