Thread on Boot
and Collar first!
First thread on the Boot and Collar.
Remove 1.5" of the outer jacket from the cable end using
wire stripping tool (CJAST).
Fan twisted pairs into respective quadrants. The brown
pair should be opposite the orange pair.
When a cable spline (X-shaped filler) is present, cut spline
flush to fanned pairs using wire snipping tool (CWST).
The “V” channel should be aligned with the green pair.
Insert divider posts into the cable. If the cable has an
internal spline, insert divider posts into the brown and
orange quadrants of the spline.
Arrange conductors to T568B wiring scheme while
minimizing untwist and smooth conductors.
Seat conductors into proper divider slots while holding
Divider near the end of the cable jacket.

While holding conductors in respective divider slots,
straighten and align untwisted conductors using a circular
motion.
Do not release grip of conductors until Load Bar is applied
in order to maintain conductor alignment.
Trim conductors on an angle approximately 1.00" from
divider leading edge.
Orient Load Bar with contact slots facing downward.
Guide conductors into load bar holes while holding
conductors in the Divider.
Slide Load Bar towards Divider until flush.
Ensure the Divider/Load Bar is centered and perpendicular
to the cable axis.
Trim conductors flush with load bar face.
While holding Load Bar and Divider stationary, slide
Collar/Boot towards termination point until there is no
gap between Collar and Divider. Do not exert pressure
onto Divider, collar can push Load Bar off conductors.
Confirm orientation of Collar. Cable jacket should extend
beyond collar barbs.
Align Pin #1 of cable sub-assembly (Cable, Load Bar,
Divider, Collar with Boot) with Pin #1 of Plug Housing.
Grip and squeeze across collar arms as sub-assembly
is inserted into Plug Housing. (Fig. 9)
Push sub-assembly into housing until collar locking tabs
clear the plug housing pocket. Although not required, TX6
PLUS Plug Assembly Tool (CSPT) is available to facilitate
this step.
Use tool MPT5-8A to complete termination. (Fig. 10)
Assembly is complete. Visually check plug.
