Wiring RS-232C and RS-422 Cable Connectors

Cable Preparation Prepare cables as follows before soldering:

1, 2, 3... 1. Cut the cable to the required length.

2.Thread the end of the cable through a boot at least 50 mm up the cable.

3.Being careful not to damage the braiding underneath, use a razor blade to cut away 25 mm of sheath for an RS-442 cable or 40 mm for an RS-232C cable.

4.Using scissors, cut away all but 10 mm of the exposed braiding.

5.Using wire strippers, remove the covering from the last 5 mm of all wires.

6.Move the boot to the cut edge of the sheath and fold the braiding back over the end of it.

7.Wrap aluminum foil tape 1 1/2 turns over the top of the braiding on top of the boot.
