Step 6
Center the splice body over the compression connector,
using the raised areas on the cable entrances of the splice
body as indicators. (See Figure 6.) Run one of the neutral
wires from cable #2 through the drain wire tabs on both
ends of splice as shown. Ensure neutral wires are twisted
tightly to grounding tab. Terminate this neutral wire in the
concentric neutral compression connector.
Bundle both sets of concentric wires into a single conductor
and jumper across the splice body.
Using the appropriate compression connector (user
supplied), connect the concentric neutrals together.
Step 7
Slide the rejacketing sleeve into place so that it covers the
entire area that was exposed when the cable jacket was
originally removed. Install the rejacketing sleeve per the
manufacturer's recommended instructions.
