Abstract
A cable guide is used to constrain and locate wires or cables for preparation for and for connection to a circuit board or connector, for termination. The cable guide has openings that receive and secure wires during the termination process. A shaft of the cable guide may be used to secure, in a repeatable manner, a predetermined length of the wires with ends offset from a cable jacket, or other reference on or near the end of the cable. The cable guide and the cable/wires may be secured in a fixture that allows the wire ends to be repeatably scored to remove insulation.
