Prepare coax cable, Figure 11-26.
Refer to Table 11-5.
2. Slide the tubing, inner sleeve, and
filler sleeve onto one of the coax
cables in the order given.
3.
Splice the center conductor. Use
the red cavity of the crimp tool.
4. Shrink the filler sleeve over the
splice. Use reflector, temperature set
at 900°F. Keep hot air away from shield
sleeve and tubing.
5. Center and shrink the shield sleeve
over the splice area so that the solder
melts and flows, Figure 11-29. Shield
sleeve must overlap coax braid at both
ends. Use same reflector and tem-
perature.
Keep hot air away from
tubing.
6.
Center and shrink the tubing over
