removed or installed even in cold environments. Wet-pluggable connectors may be installed in wet
conditions as their pins do not need to be dried before. Anyhow, they must not be mated while
submerged. Like the XSG/RMG connectors, the MCBH/MCIL ones may be lubricated and require care
and cleanliness as above described. Installation of cable end or dummy plug is simpler. Proceed to align
the female and male connectors looking at the connector’s shape and insert them in a straight way.
Guidelines
Lubricate mating surface with 3M Silicon Spray or equivalent, DO NOT grease !
Connector must be lubricated on a regular basis.
Elastomers can be seriously degraded if exposed to direct sunlight or high ozone levels for
extended periods of time.
Grip main body of connector during mating and un-mating. Do not pull on cable to disconnect.
Avoid sharp bends at cable entry to connector.
