1. INTRODUCTION
Modular Plug Hand Tools 231652–[ ] (shown in Figure
1) are designed to terminate modular plug connectors
onto stranded or solid, shielded or unshielded flat oval
cable or round cable. The tool also cuts and strips
unshielded flat oval cable; other cable must be
prepared by separate tools.
Each tool includes Die Set 853400–[ ] (see Figure 2),
except Tool 2–231652–0 which is available without a
die set. The die sets are also available separately.
All numerical values in this instruction sheet are
in metric units [with U.S. customary units in
brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters [and
inches]. Figures are not drawn to scale.

2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The die set consists of a nest and an indenter, each
marked with a color code dot. The die set is held in
the tool by a single die holding screw. Each die set
is unique to its purpose, but die sets can be
interchanged to accommodate any modular plug.
Refer to Figure 2.
The tool features a wire cutter and flat oval cable
stripper to prepare unshielded flat oval cable. The tool
handle ensures full crimping. Once engaged, the
ratchet will not release until the handles have been
FULLY closed, unless the ratchet release (pawl) is
depressed to manually release the ratchet. When
depressed, the pawl prevents crimping of an
improperly positioned modular plug.
