We strongly recommend the use of Cabelcon's pre-adjusted Rotary Cable Stripper for proper preparation of the cable. Please read the instructions for use, supplied with the tool. Stripping dimensions A = 6.5 mm (4mm for EPA short). B = 6.5 mm at IEC 169-24 (Europe) (8mm for EPA short). B = 8.0 mm at SCTE SP 401-199x (US) (9.5mm for EPA short). However, a "B dimension" of 6.5 mm (8.0mm for EPA short) will be sufficient in most cases. Do not cut the braid or mark centre conductor. Fold exposed braid back over jacket [C]. For "Quad shield", "Tri shield" and "Super shield" cables: Remove the outer braid and foil only. Fold back the inner braid. Leave the inner foil attached to dielectric. Make sure, that the foil is undamaged and smooth. Press the front part of the connector (with the built-in "tool") against the cable and turn slowly to prepare the foil to enter into the connector (not EPA) [D]. Push the connector over the foil and allow the support mandrel to slide between the foil and braid [E]. A mounting tool can be used to keep a better grip on the connector during installation [F]. Press and turn until the dielectric is flush with the support mandrel face [G]. Crimp the connector [H] using the proper crimp tool dimension. MINI = .262", ALM = .324", UNIV = .360", EPA = .360. IMPORTANT! When mounting the connector into the tap, please make sure to tighten the nut with a torque of 3,4 - 5,6 Nm to avoid decreased performance in your network. Torque wrenches can be supplied from Cabelcon upon request.
