00:02This video details how to terminate hubble's cobra lock termination jacks.

00:07The first recommended step is to feed the cable through the wire manager,

00:11then strip the cable jacket by scoring the outer edge of the jacket about 1 to 2 inches

00:15from the end, making sure not to damage the conductors.

00:18Once the outer jacket is removed, remove any non conductive elements such as center splines.

00:26Now that the inner wires are exposed, rotate the wire manager to match the label colors to

00:30the wire colors, minimize crossing of pairs, only one pair should need to cross another

00:37bend the wire pairs over and untwist slightly so that they can be pulled into their

00:40designated grooves, lock wires in place by pulling down on the free ends and cable jacket.

00:45During this step, make sure jacket and center spacer are at the bottom of the wire manager

00:49away from the termination plane.

00:51This helps with lasing by providing room for your thumb and ensures nothing will impede the

00:55wire manager for mating with the jack contacts.

01:03Next use flush cutters to cut the wires flushed to the sides of the wire manager.

01:08Then open the cobra lock and orient the wire manager so that the brown pair is facing up as

01:13designated on the jack latch. Place the wire manager into the jack,

01:16close the cobra lock until the locking tabs snap into place,

01:20securing the termination if needed, you can easily re terminate up to 25 times to unlock

01:27the cobra lock. Insert a small screwdriver in the area shown

01:30and twist slightly remove wires from the wire manager and then repeat the steps of this video.
