Use this end of the calibration
tool to verify proper
measurements for FEP cable.
The center conductor should be exactly 4.0 mm (0.16 in.). If
the center conductor is too long, cut off the excess with the
wire cutter from the cable kit. If it is too short, repeat the
entire cable stripping process.

ATTENTION
Check for any braid stranding that may not have
been cut at the proper length. If one strand comes in
contact with the center conductor, it could short out
the cable. If you find any such strands, cut them to
the correct length.
ATTENTION
Check the outer braid of cable for cut or scored braid
wire after you strip the cable. If the braid is
damaged, cut off the end and strip the cable again.
You may need to adjust the appropriate striper blade
by backing the set screw out 1/8 of a turn. Do not
crimp the BNC to a damaged braid. This type of
mistake accounts for most of the connectivity
problems that can occur. Precise, clean connections
will reduce network errors.
