B.3 Shield Termination Technique - Method A.2 (Daisy Chain)
In rare situations where more braids need to be terminated for a connector than three per ring terminal it is
allowable to daisy chain a maximum of two shields together before coming to the ring terminal
(Figure B-4). All other restrictions and instructions for the shield termination technique set forth for
Method A.1 are still applicable.
The maximum length of the combined braids should be approximately 4 inches.

B.4 Shield Termination – Method B.1 (Quick Term)
If desired, the drain wire termination (Item 5) and the floating shield termination (Item 7) can be
effectively combined into a “Quick Term”. This method eliminates the float in the cable insulation and
moves the placement of the window which was described by the dimensions “Window Min” and “Window
Max” from Method A.1. This technique is depicted in Figure B-5.
The original purpose for separating the shield drain termination (Item 5) from the
float termination (Item 7) in Method A.1 was to allow for a variety of lengths for
the drain wires so that the shield drain terminations (Item 5) would not all “bunch
up” in the harness and to eliminate loops in the drain wires. If Method B.1 is
chosen, as described in this section, care must be taken to insure that all drain
shield terminations can still be inspected. With connectors which require a large
number of shield terminations it may be best to use Method A.1. This will allow
the drain shield terminations (Item 5) a larger area to be dispersed across.
Using this method, the instructions from Section B.2 (Method A.1) are followed except that:
1. Step 2 is eliminated
2. Steps 3 and 4 are replaced by the following:
