Run the telephone cable underneath the field-terminated block.
Strip 12 inches (31 cm) of jacketing off the cable, exposing the
conductors.
Press the conductors into the index strip on the field-terminated
block according to the color sequence shown in Figure 3-24.
Make sure each pair keeps its twist up to the index strip. (Each
pair is split by a raised tooth on the index strip.)
Use the 788J1 impact tool to seat and trim the conductors. See
Figure 3-31.
Make sure the blade edge is positioned properly: blade up for
rows 1 and 3, blade down for rows 2 and 4.
Continue seating and trimming conductors from left to right for
each row.
NOTE:
The last two right-hand slots must remain vacant.
