For small areas of damage such as scratches (not deep ones) it can be enough to apply reinforcement to the cable insulation by using a heat-shrinkable
tubing over the damaged area. If good sealing properties are required then either a shrinkable tubing with internal coating of glue or self-vulcanizing tape
p/n 3540116-5 must be used.
