14. Attach the dropline to the 62-pin connector.
Connect this wire: To this pin number:
Blue conductor wire 34
Clear conductor wire 36
Drain wire 35
15. Slide all three pieces of the small-diameter shrink tubing over the solder
points at the connector. Using a heat gun, heat the tubing until the pieces
fit snugly on the conductor wires and the drain wire.
16. Slide the large-diameter shrink tubing as close as possible to the electrical
connector. Using a heat gun, heat the tubing until it fits snugly around the
end of the dropline.
If you: Then:
Have a 15Ćsocket connector Continues with step 17.
Do not have a 15Ćsocket connector Check for electrical continuity and shorts between
conductors. Refer to the next procedure.
17. Position the right-angle hood to the 15-socket connector and install the
screws through the locking clips. Tighten the screws to secure the hood to
the connector.
18. Insert the cable clamp through the slot in the right-angle hood. Insert the
curved edge of the clamp into the slot first. Install the large screw into the
slot and tighten it so that the clamp holds the dropline cable securely.
After the you have soldered the electrical connector to the dropline and
assembled the connector, you need to check for electrical continuity and shorts
between conductors.
Test the Connector for Electrical Continuity
To check for electrical continuity, leave the connector secured in the vise and
check for continuity between the station connector and the electrical connector
or the plug connector and the electrical connector.
