The QTBIX16A tool connects each wire to the BIX
connector and trims off the excess. Make sure that the
cutting edge is on the correct side. A button on the handle
selects either the "Cut" or "No Cut" position.
Use a QTBIX16A tool (black blade down) to terminate cable pairs towards the
front of the connector.
