Splice Conversion to 4005-DPM Modules
When:
• 50% or more of the conductors will be
rearranged.
• Deteriorated splices.
• Discrete connector splices.
• Splices already partially converted.
Slack Requirements:
• Inline ......................6" (152.4 mm min.)
• Straight Through ....6" (152.4 mm min.)
• Foldback ................Slack already built in.
Note:
This operation requires using the rear
spring holder and the front wire retainer
spring.
Prepare Splice Head:
Place spring on holder by sliding onto the flat
plate of the rear spring holder.

Foldback Conversion:
(Maintaining Foldback Configuration)
7.3.1.1
Place the splice head into the approximate
position of the original connectors when they
were spliced. Remove front wire retainer
spring.
7.3.1.2
Straighten the wires at the rear of the existing
(old) connectors.
7.3.1.3
Place DPM into splice head and secure exist-
ing connector to tape panel.

7.3.2
Foldback Conversion:
(To Inline)
Cut the tie points, expose the core and place
available slack wire length in splice head.
7.3.3
Inline – PIC:
A minimum of 6" (152.4 mm) of slack is
required to convert an Inline PIC splice.
Follow steps used in the Foldback
Conversion procedure. (section 7.3.1)
Note:
Care must be taken same pair of conduc-
tors in the body/top wire channels that
appear in the body/bottom channels. Pair
One on top must match Pair One on bot-
tom.
Note:
It may be necessary to adjust the tie point
to maintain a neat splice.
