1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of standard and small conductor modular plug
connectors for voice and data applications. The modular plugs are available in standard and small conductor,
unshielded or shielded, with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 terminals on 1.02 [.040] centerline spacing. These modular plugs
are also available in line and keyed housing styles. The modular plugs contain universal terminals for use with
solid or stranded wire.
Each modular plug features two internal strain reliefs to protect the modular plug-to-cable and terminal-to-
conductor interface from damage when subjected to pulling or bending forces. The primary strain relief grips
the jacket and the secondary strain relief acts on the conductors. These modular plugs are terminated using the
insulation piercing technique. The modular plugs are available in loose piece for terminating with manual or
pneumatically-powered tools.
Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.

Preparation
Proper strip length as shown in Figure 2 is necessary to properly insert the cable into the modular plugs.
The strip length for the cable and specific cable and modular plug combinations are shown in Table 1.
NOTE
Reasonable care must be taken not to nick or cut the cable conductor insulation during the stripping operation.
Flat Oval Shielded Cable
This cable must be prepared according to the following. Refer to Figure .
3.3.2.1.1.1.1. Insert a blade tip between the conductors and shield. Slit the jacket and shield 14.29
[9/16] back from the end along one edge of the cable. Repeat on the opposite cable edge.
3.3.2.1.1.1.2.

Pull the slit ends away from the conductors. Separate the shield from the slit ends of
3.3.2.1.1.1.3. Cut off the slit ends of the jacket 14.29 [9/16] from the end of the conductors. Care
should be taken not to cut shield ends.
3.3.2.1.1.1.4.
Fold each shield end back on itself to approximately one-half of its length.
3.3.2.1.1.1.5. Bend each folded shield back on top of the jacket. The shield must extend
approximately 9.52 [3/8] back on the jacket and the exposed conductors must be approximately 14.29
[9/16] in length.
3.3.2.1.1.1.6. If the drain wire is to be terminated within the modular plug, insert the drain wire into
the wire circuit of the modular plug, and terminate according to the instructions packaged with the
applicable tooling.
3.3.2.1.1.1.7. If the drain wire is to be terminated to the modular plug shield, bend the drain wire
back tightly across the center of the cable shield on the side of the cable that will face the locking latch
side of the modular plug when the cable is inserted. Cut the drain wire to the same length as the cable
shield.

3.3.2.1.1.1.11. Trim the shield to approximately a length of 9.52 [3/8]. Form the shield smoothly
around the outside of the cable. Untwist the conductors and orient them in desired sequence. Trim the
conductors evenly to a length of 14.29 [9/16].
3.3.2.1.1.1.12. If the drain wire is to be terminated within the modular plug, insert the drain wire into
the wire circuit of the modular plug, and terminate according to the instructions packaged with the
applicable tooling.
3.3.2.1.1.1.13. If the drain wire is to be terminated to the modular plug shield, bend the drain wire
back tightly across the center of the cable shield on the side of the cable that will face the locking latch
side of the modular plug when the cable is inserted. Cut the drain wire to the same length as the cable
shield.
