(

in.). Be sure not to cut too deep, as

to expose or damage the copper layer
underneath. Starting from the end of
the cable, carefully remove the triple
layered insulation and discard.

11. Remove one release foil from the

stress control patch (green) and apply it
level with the outer insulation cut,
against the red sealant tape (see photo
7). Wrap the entire patch around the
cable as shown and remove the release
foil during installation. Avoid air
pockets, wrinkles or creases.

12. Wrap one layer of sealant tape

(red) with a small overlap and slight
tension over the braid wire and previously
applied sealant tape, below and level
with the (green) stress control patch (see
photo 7).

13. Take apart the DYNASPHERE

ERICORE coupling, ensuring there are 4
pieces. There should be:

• A Compression Nut
• A Compression Ring
• A Compression Cone
• A Main Coupling Piece

14. Place the compression nut and

compression ring of the coupling set
over the strands and copper tape layer.
Check the order and orientation of the
nut and ring against Figure 5 on page
10.

15. Unwrap the material double tape

layer back to the compression ring. Place
the compression cone between the filler
core and the copper strands as shown in
Figure 5. The cone should be “pushed
on” until it is flush with the end of the
filler core. Neatly form the copper
strands back over the cone in their
original order.
