The Cable Notching Tool (Figure 1) provides a

consistent and fast way to notch the ribbon cable.

After selecting the proper location for the notch,

proceed as follows:

1. Place the ribbon cable under the cable hold-

down feature and into the cable nest (Figure 3).

Make sure the cable is fully seated in the cable nest

to ensure the creation of a proper notch.

2. Squeeze the tool handles fully to notch the

cable.

Material removed from the cable will fall out of the

bottom of the tool.
