Connecting Cables
7705 SAR-M Chassis Installation Guide 125
Hardware required:
• wire stripper
• hardware for making the connection (such as a screw, star washer, and cable ties)
To make a shield ground connection:
Step 1. Locate a convenient chassis ground point, such as the equipment rack.
Step 2. Carefully strip enough insulation (outer jacket) from the cable such that the exposed
grounding wire can reach the chassis ground point. Ensure that there is enough
stripped insulation to provide strain relief for the ground connection.
Step 3. Separate the ground shield (braid, foil, and drain wire) from the signal conductors.
Step 4. Securely attach the shield to the chassis ground point. Use a screw and star washer
large enough to make a proper ground connection. Use proper cable dressing and
strain relief techniques.
Caution: When stripping the cable insulation, avoid nicking the ground conductors or the
insulation on the signal conductor. Nicks can weaken or break a conductor or expose a wire
to a potential short circuit.
