Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors
Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger
splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.
Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable
Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable
After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape.
Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape,
Fig. 17.
Step 5: Tape the Cable
Fig. 18 Proper Taping
Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the jacket you removed to make the repair.
