tails. Carefully cut primary jackets back

Step 4: Skive outer matrix material from
conductors with utility knife.
Step 5: Peel exposed wires back from
center matrix and cut center matrix away,
leaving bare conductors.

cable beginning at a distance fo 1"
(25 mm) back from the pigtail (overjacket).

Step 8: Stack the two (or three cables in
the case of a tee) together and tighten
down with two standard tie wraps at

ends in close proximity to the cables and
then crimp. Trim off any extra braid. Bend
