2. When the second person observes that the center conductor has been pulled to its limit, the
second person waits 10 seconds and then applies light pulling tension to the center conductor
while holding the cable by the black jacket with the other hand (see
).
The first person holds the cable by the black jacket and allows the center conductor to move
freely (no tension applied).
The second person stops pulling when they encounter an increase
in resistance or the center conductor can be pulled no further.
3. Continue this flossing motion back and forth until the center conductor moves easily with very
little resistance.
4. When the conditioning procedure is complete, release the tension on the center conductor,
and cut off any center conductor that was damaged during conditioning.

Note
When conditioning is complete, the center conductor slides easily in both
directions, and it may extend an additional 15 to 30 cm out of the cable
jacket at both ends.
Note
If the center conductor does not move back and forth easily (or at all)
during the flossing process, straighten any turns in the cable (relocate the
cable if necessary). Have one person grip the cable at one end and apply
light tension to the center conductor while the second person walks the
length of the cable from the other end shaking and tapping the cable.
Next, repeat the cable flossing procedure until the center conductor
moves freely and easily.
