PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use
and low volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.
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.

2. DESCRIPTION (FIgure1)
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.
