Cable termination tool.
You need this tool to strip
some of the jacket from the raw end of the 25-pair
cable. If the connecting block on the 4-line adapter
does not have two caps that automatically punch down
wires when the cap is snapped onto the block, you also
need a tool for punching down the wires. Some cable
termination tools can do both.

Green labels.
These labels come with the installation
kit for the apparatus boxes.
Adding Jacks to the
Jack Field
Connecting the
Outside Lines to the
Jack Field
Follow these steps to acid jacks to the jack field:
1 Position the apparatus box so that the door with the
handle is on the right and attach it to the top box in the
rightmost column of boxes already in the jack field by
meshing the tongues and grooves.
2 Use appropriate screws to attach the apparatus box to
the mounting surface supporting the jack field.
3 Pull the two plastic caps off the connector on the
adapter, and set the caps aside. You’ll need the caps
again in step 4 of the next procedure.
4 Snap the 4-line adapter into the apparatus box so that
the jacks on the adapter face to the right. If you have
more than four outside lines, remove the two plastic
caps from the second adapter and snap it into the box
in the same way.
To connect outside lines to a jack field, follow these steps:
1 Attach the connector on the 25-pair cable to the 50-pin
connector at the network interface.
2 Using the blade on the cable termination tool, slit the
jacket at the free end of the 25-pair cable, and cut
away as much of the jacket as necessary to allow the
individual twisted pairs of colored wires to reach the
adapter(s) in the jack field.
