27. Check position of black stress control tubes; shrink in
place.
Center the tubes over the splice. Begin shrinking at the center
(1) of the tubes, working the torch around all sides of the
tubes. After the center portion shrinks, work towards one end
(2), then to the opposite end (3).
Note:
Do not point the flame at the cable semi-con.
The rings from the SRM wraps may be visible as the tubing
shrinks.
Post heat the connector area until the tube surface is smooth
and the underlying SRM wraps are no longer visible.

28. Apply red sealant.
Remove backing from red sealant. Using light tension, wrap
one layer of red sealant over the cable, butted against the

26. Position black stress control tube.
Center black stress control tube over the completed connector
area. Be sure to equally overlap the Poly cable semi-con and
the PILC cable black conductive tube.
