• 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).
