Step Action

as possible.
2 Position the VF cable (pairs 601–1200) in the middle-left conduit opening as
upright as possible.
3 Position the HF cable in the far right conduit opening as upright as possible.

(5.08 cm) above the sheath.
Note:
The top of the bonded mesh to the base of cable conduit should
measure 10 inches (25.4 cm).

order to secure it to the cable and form a seal.

Note:
Be sure to fill the mold to the top.
9 Wait at least 20 minutes to allow the encapsulate to set.
