DL Cable Assembly
Using Canare MR202-16AT
1. Cut a 4 inch piece of ¾ inch diameter black heatshrink and slip it on
to the cable.
2. Remove ~3 inches of the outer jacket by bending the cable and
cutting at the bend with a sharp blade.

3. Separate wires 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16. Cut them in half. Use the
resistor color code to number wires. (Ex. Black-Brown stripe = 01,
Black-Red stripe = 02, Black-Blue = 06, Brown-Red = 12, BrownOrange = 13, Brown-Yellow = 14, Brown-Green = 15, Brown-Blue
= 16.)
4. Cut the nylon core.

5. Cut 12 ½-inch pieces of 3/32 inch diameter black heatshrink and
place it on wires 1-12.
6. Strip ~1 inch of the jacket off cables 1-12 and remove the foil.

7. Separate the 3 wires and place clear 1/32 inch diameter clear
heatshrink on the bare ground wire. To cut the proper length slide
the clear heatshrink all the way on to the wire, then place the
cutters so that it leaves ~1/8 inch of wire at the end. Hold the
cutters place, lift the clear tube free from the wire, then cut.
8. Slide the piece of black heatshrink over the 3 wires and the clear
heatshrink and shrink it with a heatgun.

9. Strip ~1/8 inch off the end of the other wires.
10. Proceed to crimp the pins on to cables 1-12. Be sure to use
the smaller gauge crimp.

11. Now prepare the power and ground wires (13,14 = GND, 15
= +29V, 16 = -29V) by stripping off ~1/4 inch and also
completely stripping the 3 inner wires and shorting them together.
Wires 13 and 14 have all 6 wires twisted together.
12. Next is to prepare the male DL connector. For the GND,
+29V, and -29V rows you will have to crimp 18 pins with a stiff,
solid wire. We use a gold plated jewelery wire.
