3M 5797A-MT, 78-8126-0432-6-A manual Note DO NOT use silicone grease

4.5Apply red compund on cable insulation, making certain to fill in edges of cable semi-cons.

Note: DO NOT use silicone grease.

4.6Position each splice body over the connector and align the leading end of the rubber part with the center of the marker tape.

Slowly begin to remove the inner support core by pulling, while unwinding, the loose ribbon end in a counterclockwise direction. Allow only 1/4"

(6 mm) of the splice to shrink onto the marker tape.

Carefully slide the splice body off the marker tape until its leading edge is aligned with the marker tape edge. Continue removing the core to complete splice body installation.

Note: The splice body ends must overlap onto the semi-conducting layer of each cable by at least 1/2" (12,7 mm).

Note: DO NOT push the splice body towards the tape marker, as this may cause the end to roll under. If the end does roll under, DO NOT use sharp edged tools to pull it out as this could cut and damage the splice.

4.7Apply copper shield sleeves:

a)Center one shield sleeve over each splice body.

b)Starting at center, form sleeves to splice bodies using vinyl tape bands.

4.8Connect sleeve ends to the cable metallic shield with constant force springs.

Install each spring by unwrapping and rewrapping the spring around itself over the shield sleeve end and cable metallic shield.

Trim off excess shield sleeve braid material.

Cover springs and trimmed shield sleeve ends with one half-lapped layer of vinyl tape.
