6.2 Terminate bundled cable
CAUTION!
Use correct gauge strippers on individual conductors. Do not strip more than 0.25 in. off a
conductor. Do not over-tighten. Turn terminal screw clockwise until you make contact with
the wire, then make an additional ¼ turn.
Procedure
1. Starting at the cord grip, strip cable jacket and braided shield off the cable.
2. Pull cable to the terminal block, using the following pair sequence:
Terminal block conductor pairsTable 6-1:

3. Pull individual twisted-pair (with foil shield in place) to the top of the box on the right
side. Pull service loop as shown in Figure 6-1.
4. Pull to the terminal block and blunt cut any extra wire.
5. Remove one inch of foil shield from twisted-pair and seal the foil shield using heat
shrink or electrical tape.
6. Strip 0.25 in. from each conductor and terminate to the terminal block as follows:
a. Positive Conductor on the upper level of the terminal block
b. Negative Conductor on the middle level of the terminal block
c. Shield Drain on the lower level of the terminal block
