• Thread boot and collar onto cable.
• Remove 1.5" of the outer jacket using wire stripping tool
(CJAST).
• Cut foil flush with cable jacket. If cable is braided, form braid
into a drain wire. Bend the drain wire back so it is against the
cable jacket.
• Fan twisted pairs into respective quadrants. The brown pair
should be opposite the orange pair.
• Cut spline flush to fanned pairs using wire snipping tool
(CWST).

Specifications
•Cable jacket diameter maximum 0.300 in (7.6mm).
•Solid or stranded conductor maximum insulated diameter
0.047 in (1.2mm).
•Panduit recommends T568B wiring scheme for use with
cable constructed with the brown pair opposing the orange
pair.
•For use with F/UTP, U/FTP and S/FTP type cables, which
meet the dimensional requirements. Cable must have drain
wire or braid.
