9. Slide the crimp ferrule over the three outer shields and connector base until it meets
the shoulder on the connector.
10. Using the crimp tool, crimp the ferrule. Position the crimp tool on the ferrule as close
as possible to the connector base and ferrule meeting line. Press the tool tightly
around the ferrule until the crimp tool allows release.
TIP
The larger hexagonal crimping notch is for crimping the ferrule which
holds the connector to the cable.
TIP
Many network problems are due to improperly installed connectors.
You should have tight-fitting connectors on the ends of all your
cables. Pull the connector to verify that it is attached. If it is loose or
comes off, snip off the connector and install a new one. The
connector should withstand a minimum 60lbs pull force if properly
installed.
