Step Action
1 Carefully remove about 25mm of the outer covering while taking care not to
damage the braided shield.
2 Push the exposed braided shield back over the outer covering .
3 Leave the first 12mm of the braided shield free and insulate the rear portion
with shrink tubing.
4 Carefully strip about 5mm from the individual wires while taking care not to
damage the copper strands.
5 Verify pin assignments then solder the individual wires to the solder cups of the
Sub-D connector. (Check the wire colors.)
6 Attach the cable to the connector housing strain relief; the strain relief must
have good contact with the exposed shielding of the cable.
7 Place the knurled screws in position.
8 Place the Sub-D connector in the groove of the half-housing (pin 1 at bottom)
and press the two halves together.
Note: Once the halves of the housing have been pressed together, they cannot
be opened without damaging them.
