2. At one end of a shielded cable (item 2,
"Window Max" (Table 24-7) and cut a window (max size 0.35") in the jacket to expose the shield
(item 4, Figure 24-7). Use caution when cutting the jacket to avoid damaging the individual braids
of the shield. When dealing with a densely populated connector with many cables, it may prove
beneficial to stagger the windows throughout the "Window Min" to "Window Max" range. If
staggering is not needed the "Ideal Window" length is recommended.
Suggested tools to accomplish the window cut:
• Coaxial Cable Stripper
• Thermal Stripper
• Sharp Razor Blade
