Step 2. Flatten and align the
wires appropriately to be seated
within the plug.
Step 3. Insert prepared cable
into loading bar by pushing
the bottom wires through the
appropriate holes (ref: Wiring
Diagram) and pressing down on
the top row of cables to be seated
into their appropriate slots. Trim
the excess wires.
Step 4. Finally align the plug
with the appropriate slots of the
IDC and press down firmly (with

Parallel Crimp Tool) until you
hear it snap together. Apply the
strain relief cover over top of the
cable and into the designated slots
located on the sides of the IDC.
Step 5. Test the cable using a cable tester to check for shorts,
opens and miswires.
