8.2.3 CAJPP Connectors for Jumper Cables JPP and JMP
The CAJPP connector assembly for JPP and JMP jumper cables consists of two crimp style UHF plugs
and one UHF straight adapter. Steps A thru F must be followed to install a connector. It is recommended
to use Ideal Stripmaster® Model 45-091 or 45-092 wire strippers, or equal, for stripping the wires. Use the
die openings for stranded wire for the wire size specified in the steps below.
Step A Measure and cut the required length of cable. The connector components are shown below.
Step B Carefully mark the cable jacket at 3/8”, 3/4” and 1 5/8” from the end.
At the 3/8” mark, strip the wire with the 14 AWG stripping hole. You may need to repeat the strip
with the 16 AWG stripping hole to remove all the core insulation.
At the 3/4” mark, strip the wire with the 12 AWG stripping hole to remove the braid.
At the 1 5/8” mark, strip the wire with the 10 AWG stripping hole to remove the jacket.
Step C JPP only - JPP has foil wrapped under the braid and bonded to the core insulation. Slide the
braid back to the jacket to expose the foil. Use long nose pliers with serrated grip surfaces and
gently squeeze the foil near the end of the core. Gently rotate the pliers back and forth 10° - 30°
several times until the foil breaks free from the core. Unwrap the foil and remove it. This step may
need to be repeated to remove all the foil under the exposed braid.
Step D Slide the UHF plug body over the cable center conductor. Be sure all the strands of the center
conductor slide completely through the center contact of the plug. At the same time, the plastic
core should fit inside the large section of the center contact and the braid should go over the
outside of the inner ferrule. When the cable is inserted properly, 1/16” [1.5 mm] to 1/8” [6 mm] of
the center conductor will extend past the end of the UHF plug body and the plastic core will be
inside the center contact. Caution: Once the crimp tool (PermAlert Part No. 8068300) starts
to close, it must be closed completely before it can be opened again. Crimp the center contact
in the crimp area using a 0.068” die.
