Abstract: Element insertion location apparatus (60) is connected to a completed first end (79) of a cable (80) to locate the position for inserting an element (82) attached to a conductor of the cable (80) in a cable connector (84) at the second end (81) of the cable (80). A power supply (64) energizes a plurality of electrical circuits each containing a light emitting diode (1 through 52). Each of the circuits is connected to one element of a cable connector (76,78). The completed first end (79) of a cable (80) is also connected to the cable connector (76,78). Upon placing an element (82) attached to a conductor at the second end (81) of a cable (80) into an element insertion tool (62) grounded (66) to a power supply (64) one of the circuits is completed illuminating a light emitting diode (1 through 52). The light emitting diodes (1 through 52 ) are in an array (86) that represents the physical arrangement of the element insertion locations in a cable connector (84).
