Pull For Performance.

EZ-RJ45® Connectors.

The closer the twists are to the contacts, the
point of termination, the better the performance.
So don’t just push your twists, BUT push & pull
your twists. Take advantage of those extended
conductors and watch your performance go up!
Caution: Allow a wee bit of slack, especially
when working with stranded.

Ceramic Kevlar® Scissors. The Ceramic Kevlar

Scissors provide superior performance when trimming the Kevlar
strength member in fiber optic cables; also works well with Kevlar
cloth. The secret is the Zirconia ceramic blades that will not dull

Having trouble properly seating your SealSmart™ BNC connectors? Use the connector as a
measuring stick. Place your prepped cable next to your connector with the dielectric beneath
the base of the BNC head. If the conductor goes past the upper end of the knurled band (A),
then it is too long. Trim if necessary.

Use a pen to mark the cable (B) so you will know how far down the
connector needs to go.
