Cable Preparation
Before assembly of the MDR 101XX-6000 Wiremount Plug
can take place, the cable must be prepared. After selecting the
appropriate conductor count cable, use the corresponding
method for round jacketed discrete wire or flat ribbon cable.
Discrete Wire Cable Preparation
1. Remove approximately 3 inches of the outer jacket of

to the rear and the grooved end facing the operator. With
the grooved end raised up, slide the back end against the
small spring that contacts the stop under the cover plate.
Make sure the stop pushes against the spring. Lower the
grooved end (front end) down into the slot and maintain
downward pressure. The spring should be pushing
forward against the connector stop which should be
held in place by the silver colored pin against
a tab mechanism underneath.
yolk shaped cover plate and tighten the thumbscrew.
To verify the connector stop is correctly installed, press
the release buttons on the front of the fixture unit (A of
Fig. 7) and the connector stop should spring to the back.
Close the grooved plates and the stop should spring
forward again.

If the cable is shielded, cut jacket back, exposing the
pleated foil. Peel pleated foil back above the jacket
and leave attached.
Split insulated conductors to separate them individually.
Cable is now ready for termination.
Place the fixture unit onto either the fixture block (Fig.
12) or the shuttle block on the press (C of Fig. 4) with the
slot on the fixture unit toward the operator and the cable
clamp stop adjustment knob at the rear of the unit,
away from the operator.
Select a connector and both covers of the correct size.
Place the first cover, shaped like the letter “U”, into the
slot at the top of the fixture unit (Fig. 7), open end toward
the operator and the grooved side with the posts facing
up. Push the cover down in the slot and back against the
spring loaded connector stop previously installed
to lock it in place.
For termination choose the appropriate type of cable:

pull up and to the left to align wire with the groove
in rear left of the cover and then down into the
corresponding wire slot. Stretch it slightly and
lay it into the grooved wire holding slot. Be sure
the wire is properly seated into the “U” shaped
cover (Fig. 8) by gently pushing it into the slot.
