11.7.4 Preparing cables
Remove the outer covering of the
cable over a length of about
25mm, without damaging the
shielding braid.
Push the shielding braid back over
the outer covering of the cable,
and strip off the ends of the cores
over a length of about 5 mm,
without damaging the copper
strands.
Push a suitable piece of heatshrink
tubing over the outer cover, and
heat it up. Leave about 7mm free
at the end.
Solder the ends of the cores (with
the resistors where required) into
the solder buckets of the SubD con-
nector. Insulate the connections
and the resistors so that there can
be no accidental contact between
them or with the connector hous-
ing.
Use the strain relief to fix the cable
to the bottom half of the housing.
Do not overtighten the screws, or
the cable will be crushed. Place
the SubD connector, with the wider
side below, in the bottom half of
the housing.
Check the connections before clos-
ing the housing, since it cannot be
opened again afterwards without
damage. Place the fixing screw in
position in the housing, and then
press the two halves of the hous-
ing firmly together. Take care that
the fixing screw and the SubD con-
nector insert are properly located.
