SUGGESTED PROCEDURE
- Temporarily assemble items 1* and first FRI ring to connector.
- Place remaining adapter components on cable in sequence shown. Keep these components away from termination, so they will not interfere with subsequent assembly steps.
- Insert cable into item 1* and first ring bottom on connector insert (or inside shoulder of item 1*). Mark cable at rear of first ring held in place against rear of item 1*.
- LOOSEN ITEM 1* from connector and slide first ring up cable with other components. Item 1, adapter may remain assembled to some connectors, as it may not interfere with contact insertion.
- Trim cable jacket (if applicable), approx. 1 to 1-1/2 inches in back of mark made (step C). Be sure trim length allows clamp gland to make full contact with cable jacket, to insure proper environmental seal.
- Prepare shielding by either combing or flaring out. Extract individual shield pig tails (if applicable), and flatten out. Fold back and spot tie or tape prepared shields on cable temporarily.
- Prepare and terminate conductors in accordance with normal practices.
- Tighten item 1* secure to connector. Slide first RFI ring into place, untie shielding and arrange evenly about cone at rear of first ring. Spot tie shielding and trim excess.
- Slide second RFI ring and rear sleeve into place and tighten securely. Slide gland & ring into place, (if applicable) and tighten cable clamp. Place saddle bars around cable and tighten being careful not to damage cable.
- Inspect final assembly for proper installation. Note: elastomer's should always be lubricated prior to assembly, to avoid damage and insure proper sealing (if applicable). * 45° and 90° assembly includes adapter (item 1a) and elbow (item 1b) sub-assembled (90° shown)
