5. From the end of the cable, remove the
copper tape up to the roll spring, exposing
the black semi-conductive material by
unrolling, then tearing the tape up and back
over the edge of the roll spring at about a 45˚
angle. (If necessary, carefully cut about 6mm
of the copper tape up against the roll spring
with a knife and then tear over the spring).
6. Carefully remove the roll spring, then
tape up the last 6mm ( 1 /
4
in.) of the copper
tape with a piece of PVC tape, to stop further
unravelling.
7. Clean and degrease the outer sheath for
a distance of 100mm (4 in.) from the cut
position. Using slight tension, wrap one layer
of sealant tape (red) around the black outer
insulation with a small overlap of 5mm (
1 /
5
in.)
over the copper tape screen. (See photo 4)
8. Place the structure bond braid over the
cable so that it sits over the copper screen
and up against the sealant tape (red). Ensure
that the braid loops are tight around the
copper screen. Tape the bond braid into place
with PVC tape. (See photo 5). (Ultimately, this
braid may require electrical bonding to the
structure.)
9. At a distance 70mm (2 3 /
4
in.) from the
end of the cable, carefully cut a notch in
triple layered insulation no deeper than 1mm
(
3 /
64
in.). Then using the insulation-cutting
tool, cut around the circumference of the
triple layered insulation until the copper
underneath is exposed.
10. With a knife, carefully cut along the
70mm (2 3 /
4
in.) length triple layered insulation
of the cable to a depth of no more than 1mm
