Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable
Twisted/Shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). Two-conductor cable of this construction is used
between the Radio and the Delco-Bose(R) Speaker/Amplifier Units and other applications where LO level sensitive signals must be carried.
Step One: Remove Outer Jacket
Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire of the mylar tape.
Step Two: Unwrap the Tape
Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splices have been made.
The Untwisted Conductors
Step Three: Prepare the Splice
Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger
splices to avoid shorts.
The Re-Assembled Cable
Step Four: Re-assemble the 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.
