-inch
self-bonding rubber tape. Overlap the tape by one-half its width (see
2
Repeat Step 1, wrapping the pairs on the other side of the screen of the CO cable stub in the same way.
3
Starting at the cable-stub butt, wrap the pairs on one side of the screen with 2-inch, pressure sensitive,
aluminum tape. Overlay the tape by one-half its width and form the tape in place. Aluminum tape provides
electrical isolation from outside EMI sources. For these applications, dress out the splice per local practices.

Repeat Step 3 wrapping the pairs on the other side of the screen in the same way.
5
Starting at the cable-stub butt of the field cable stub, wrap the pairs on one side of the screen with two layers
of
