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.

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.

14. Orient the jack connector so
that the color coding on the jack
connector mates with proper
conductor of lacing fixture. Insert a
jack connector into the lacing fixture
until it is engaged by approximately
4mm [.160 in.]. See Figure 8.
NOTE
i
The blue and brown wires can
be used as guides. When
using color code standards

15. Insert the lacing fixture (with
the jack connector) into the tool.
SeeFigure9.
Figure 9
CAUTION
!
If the jack connector is
equipped with a dust cover,
the cover must be opened
prior to insertion into the tool.
See Figure 10. If the jack
connector is terminated with
the cover closed, the
connector will be damaged
and must be discarded.
Dust Cover Open

16. When using the lacing fixture
and plastic SL Jack Connectors,
squeeze the tool handle until the
hook on the bottom of the handle
meets the top of the ram. See
Figure 11. Then release the handle
and remove the lacing fixture and
connector.
Figure 11
17. If necessary, remove the cut
wires from the lacing fixture and
discard them.
18. Remove the jack connector
from the lacing fixture as follows:
a. Hold the lacing fixture firmly
with one hand and the jack
connector with the other hand.
b. Slightly move (wiggle) the
connector back and forth while
pulling in opposite directions.
See Figure 12.
NOTE
i
Be sure not to hold the lacing
fixture by the cable clamp.
Holding the cable clamp will
provide additional force on the
cable and make it difficult to
release the jack connector.
Figure 12
19. Open the lacing fixture and
remove it from the cable and
properly terminated jack connector.
Inspect the connector to ensure the
wires are bottomed in the housing
slots and the wires were cut
properly.
20. For unshielded jack
connectors, position the strain relief
over the connector and snap into
place. Refer to Figure 13.
Circular Boss

21. If no further terminations are
required, place the lacing fixture in
the tool and lock the handle in the
closed position. The lacing fixture
will be retained by the tool.
CAUTION
!
Damaged product should not
be used. If a damaged
product is evident, it should be
cut from the cable and
replaced with a new one.
3.2. Terminating Shielded Cable
1. Strip back the cable jacket
approximately 76.2mm [3.00 in.].
NOTE
i
It is recommended that the
minimum depth be cut first. If
a deeper cut is required,
rotate the tool in the direction
of the larger arrow
(Figure 14).
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.
