1 Remove approximately 30 mm of insulation from the communication cable
- Remove the insulation without damaging the coaxial shield around the cable.
Do not remove more insulation than necessary, as it may cause a short-circuit.
2 Unwrap the wires in the coaxial shield carefully
- Under the coaxial shield there is one signal line, one power line, and one ground line. The signal line
and power lines are wrapped in aluminum tape.
5 Crimp a terminal on each of the individual lines and then insulate it using vinyl tape or shrink tubing.
- Shown below are the recommended crimp-style terminals

3 Cut off the excess coaxial shield and peel back the aluminum tape on the signal line and power line.
4 Remove the insulation from the signal and power lines until enough bare wire is exposed to fit into a
crimp-style terminal.
- Twist the strands of wire in the signal and power lines tightly, in order to slide them into a terminal.
