2.1. Description of SL Series Jack Tool
Assembly 1901551- 1

The tool assembly consists of a
spring--loaded ram driven by a handle
through a link.

The ram, which also acts as a handle
lock (to keep the handle closed during
transportation and storage), can move
independently of the link for purposes
of cable stripping and to unlock the
handle.

A spring provides the force necessary
for the cable stripping operation.

A blade to place a score mark on foil
covered cable pair.

All the parts are located inside two
housing shells.

The housing features a scale for
determining strip length and an access
hole for cable stripping.

The tool assembly also provides a
means to store and retain Lacing
Fixture 1673956--1 when the fixture is
not in use.

2.2. Description of Lacing Fixture
Assembly

NOTE

i

Each Lacing Fixture Assembly
1673956--1 consists of two wire lacing
guides that pivot around a pin. Refer to
Figure 2.

Each wire lacing guide has a cut--off
blade, to cut off the excess wire during
termination.

In addition, Lacing Fixture1673956--1
contains a ball detent to assist in
keeping the lacing fixture closed while
lacing the conductors. The fixture also
contains a movable cable clamp,
whichisusedtopreventcable
movement during the wire lacing
process.

The lacing fixture is only used
on SL Series 110 Jack
Connectors

.

5. Pull the ram completely forward
and insert the cable through the
strip hole until the reference point
meets the outside surface of the
tool. See Figure 4.

Ram

9. Remove the cut cable jacket, rip
cord, binder, and cross web filler if
they exist, leaving only the twisted
pairs of wire. See Figure 5.

10. Open the lacing fixture and
insert the cable until the c able
jacket is aligned with the shelf. See
Figure 6.

If the cable is partially scored,
bending the cable at the point
of the cut and pulling it away
from the cable will remove the
cable jacket.

3. TERMINATION PROCEDURE FOR
SL SERIES 110 JACK CONNECTORS

3.1. Terminating Unshielded Cable

1. Prepare the tool by pulling the
ram toward the lacing fixture,
unlocking the handle. Lift the
handle “up” and remove the lacing
fixture. Pull the ram forward and
return the handle to the “locked”
position.

2. Place the strain relief on the
cable with the circular boss facing
away from the end of the cable to
be terminated. Refer to Figure 13.

3. Place the cable next to the scale
on the side of the tool. Stop the end
of the cable at the mark below the
desired strip length (indicated in
mm). Refer to Figure 3.

NOTE

A 35mm [1.378 in.] strip length
is a good starting point.

i

4. Grasp the cable at the end of the
tool. That is considered the
reference point for the scale.

Figure 4

6. Release the ram. The spring will
provide the force for the cable
stripping operation.

7. Rotate the tool around the cable.
Approximately one and 1/4 turns
are normally sufficient to cut
through the cable jacket.

NOTE

Harder cable jackets may
require additional turns.

i

An arrow next to the cable strip hole
indicates the direction of rotation for
different depth cuts.

Rotating the tool in the direction of
the smaller arrow will provide a
minimal cut; rotating the tool in the
direction of the larger arrow will
provide a deeper cut.

NOTE

i

8. Pull the ram forward and remove
the cable.

It is recommended that the
minimum depth be cu t first.

If a deeper cut is required,
rotate the tool in the direction
on the larger arrow.

Figure 6

11.Rotate the cable so that the
pairs of wires are oriented
approximately with the wiring label
on the outside of the lacing fixture.

NOTE

i

12. Close the lacing fixture around
the cable. Lacing fixture 1673956 -- 1
contains a ball detent to keep the
fixture closed. This fixture should be
held by the cable clamp and by the
bottom to keep the the cable from
moving during wire lacing. Refer to
Figure 7.

13. Following the wire identification
label, use the inside towers
between the the wire positioning
slots to begin to separate the wire
pairs. Untwist just enough of the
wire to lay straight across the lacing

The blue and brown wires can
be used as guides. When
using color code standards
T568A or T 568B, these
conductors are in the same
location.
