Claim:
A method of installing a plug on a cable having insulated twisted wire pairs, the method comprising: stripping insulation from an end of the cable to expose the twisted wire pairs at the cable end; arranging the wires of the exposed twisted wire pairs at the cable end into a configuration corresponding to a proper plug termination; providing a wiring block in which a back end of the wiring block leads to a cavity arranged within the wiring block and in which a front end of the wiring block has pass through holes respectively leading to wire troughs extending through the wiring block between the cavity and front end of the wiring block; inserting the cable end through the back end of the wiring block such that the wires at the cable end are inserted into respective wire troughs of the wiring block in accordance with the proper plug termination and such that the ends of the wires protrude out from the wiring block through the pass through holes; pulling the protruding wire ends away from the wiring block until the insulation of the cable adjacent to the cable end seats itself inside the cavity of the wiring block; cutting off the protruding wire ends; removing the cable from the wiring block; inserting the cable end into a plug; and crimping the plug to the cable end.
