6. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
NOTE
Before crimping, insert the prepared cable into the BACK of the connector assembly until the cable bottoms on the shoulder
of the connector assembly.
6.1. For Connectors with Fixed Collars (Except Right Angle Connectors)
NOTE
Figures 8 and 9 show typical plug and panel jack connectors with fixed collars.
Proceed as follows:
1. Carefully insert the cable into the connector until the cable bottoms on the shoulder of the connector.
2. Place the connector and cable inside the tool locator; making sure that:
the center conductor of center contact enters the locator hole, and
the connector is seated squarely on the locator.
NOTE
If crimping a panel jack to the cable, the sides of the panel jack should align with the tool jaws as shown in Figure 9.
3. Support the cable-and-connector assembly, and squeeze the tool handles to complete the crimp as
shown in Figure 9.
