2. Prepare the cable for soldering.
ATTENTION: In the next step, do not over-tighten the vise.
Over-tightening the vise may destroy the outer jacket and the
shielding of the cable segment.
a. Secure the cable segment in a vise so that the cable end you want to
solder is parallel to the ground.
b. Wrap the drain wire around the tapered portion of the cone in a spiral
fashion. You should wrap the drain wire around the tapered portion
of the cone at least once. Do not allow the drain wire to extend
onto the large end of the cone. If there is more drain wire than will
neatly wrap around the tapered part of the cone, cut off the excess
drain wire.
