3Move the connectors to the ends of the cable, allowing for some overlap on the D- Sub connector end and strain relief on the ribbon cable connector end. Note the orientation of the connectors and cable in Figure B- 2.

4Align the metal contacts of the ribbon connector over cable pin 1 (Figure B- 2) and the other pins, press the ribbon cable connector onto the cable using a vise or clamp to press the contacts evenly through the cable insulation. Continue to press the connector until the metal contacts are no longer visible.

5Fasten the strain relief clamp over the cable and into the ribbon cable connector as shown in Figure B- 2. Remove any excess cable after the clamp is in place.

6Align the metal contacts of the D- Sub connector over cable pin 1 and the other pins, press the D- Sub connector onto the cable using a vise or clamp to press the contacts evenly through the cable insulation. Continue to press the connector until the metal contacts are no longer visible. Remove any excess cable after the connector is in place.
