Existing Drain Wire Splice/Sealing Method
1. Remove cable outer jacket approximately 1-1/2" to 4" (40 to 100mm).
2. Remove foil shield from exposed wires to within 1/16" (2mm) from cable jacket.
3. Strip insulation from data wires .25" (7mm).
4. Crimp stub branch lines and drain wire to main backbone data lines and drain wire.
5. Cover each splice with insulation shrink tubing.
6. Wrap unshielded area with shielding material.
7. Apply adhesive
fi
lled shrink tube to splice junction.
8. For shield termination, crimp maximum 16 gauge GXL wire to drain wire.
