10 Cable Termination Instructions Follow these steps to prepare and terminate cables connected to the 5320 unit: 1. Strip off the outer sheath of cable to expose 6 inches of the inner cable or twisted pairs. The shield may be armored, braided or foil type depending upon cable type (see Table 31). 2. For armored or braided cable, remove all but 1/2 inch of the armor or braid. Remove waxy residues on the shields of “flooded” type cables.
3. Run the stripped part of the cable through the cable gland (Figure 32). Make sure that the braided conductive shield of the cable makes contact with the conductive contacts of the cable gland (Figure 32). 4. Attach the cable gland by first tightening the gland base into the access cover. Then tighten the gland cover to constrict the weather-tight grommet around the outer jacket of the cable, thereby creating a weather-tight fitting.
