OC2 connector installation procedure
Part 1: Preparing OC2 sensor cable
Figure 88: is a scale diagram which provides the stripping dimensions for preparing OC2 sensor
cable for connector installation.
Note Do NOT bend or twist the sensor cable while removing the jacket or
installing connectors. Bending the cable can damage the internal foil
shield and compromise operation. The smallest allowable bend radius
is 15 cm (6 in.).
Note DO NOT cut the sensor cable until you are ready to install the
connector. OmniTrax requires a minimum of 6 m of lead-in cable.
Note Ensure that the actual strip dimensions match the cable preparation
dimensions exactly.
DO NOT cut into the underlying layer when preparing the cable.
