8. Trim the excess shielding and drain wire.
9. Insert the conductors into the management bar, as shown in Figure 41. Table 25 identifies the pin
and signal assignments. The LEMO connector is installed as part of Procedure 9-7.
Caution - Failure to crimp the ferrule prevents the RJ45 connector from assembling
properly. Consequently, the connector may not fit properly into the lightning arrester or IBS.
