Abstract:
A system for radially terminating cabling includes a stuffer cap component surrounding an opening sized and configured for selective passage therethrough of a plurality of conductor pairs; a plurality of slots concentrically arranged on the front end of the stuffer cap component, wherein each wire of each of the plurality of conductor pairs may be selectively pressed into one of the plurality of slots; at least one keying member on the stuffer cap component having a unique keying member geometry; a connector including a receptacle component configured for mating with the stuffer cap component, wherein at least one keying element on the receptacle component is geometrically sized and configured for passage therethrough of a corresponding one of the keying members; a plurality of IDCs each being aligned for engaged abutment with a corresponding one of the wires of the plurality of conductor pairs when the stuffer cap component is axially rotated by a user.
