B.1. Crimping CAT-5e Cable for 15-Pin D-Type
Connectors
This section describes the cable stripping and crimping of CAT-5e cables for 15-Pin
D-type connectors used for BSR/SPR-to-BSDU/SDA connections.
Airspan recommends the "ITT Canon DB15" (code number ‘DAW15P’) sub-
miniature type. This connector is an Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC)
which crimps and secures the cable at the connection point.
Airspan recommends the following tools for stripping and crimping for 15-Pin D-
type connectors:
! Crimping tool—hand-crimper code DW115394-1. The crimper is a cyclic
crimper and will not release the cable until a full termination cycle has been
completed. The tool automatically indexes to the next pin on completion of the
terminating cycle.(See Figure B-1.)
