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

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

Reference Point

Cable Strip Hole

Figure 3

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.

Figure 5

NOTE

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.

Align Cable Jacket With Shelf

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.

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.

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

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

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.
