Cutting the Cable
Use the following procedure to prepare and connect the communications
cables to the connectors.
1,2,3... 1. Strip about 30 mm of the cable sheathing, being careful not to damage the
woven shield just below the sheathing. Do not remove more than about
30 mm; removing too much of the covering can result in short circuits or
allow noise into the Network.
2. Carefully peel back the woven shield. There is a bare shield wire under the
woven shield as well as the signal lines and power lines. (The shield wire
will be loose on the outside of the other lines, but it is stiffer than the woven
shield and easy to identify by touch.)
3. Cut away the exposed woven shield, remove the aluminum tape from the
signal and power lines, and remove the shield wire. Twist together the
stranded wires of each signal and power lines.
4. Wrap the cable with vinyl tape or heat-shrink tubing.
Be sure there are no gaps here.
