Looking at the end of the cable, identify where the drain wire is located along the
circumference of the dielectric, also locate the slot in the shield, which is gen/- 90
degrees or a ¼ turn rotated from the drain wire. Using a sharp utility knife cut lengthwise
through the second PE jacket, avoiding cutting into the dielectric as best as possible. Cut
while staying inside the shield slot from the beginning of the cable strip point to the cable
end.
