4. Twirl the strip tool around the cable 5 or 10 turns until the
"crunching" stops.
5. Pull off the stripped material.Fold back the remaining braid
so that there is only one layer of foil left against the center
white dielectric. See Figure 3.
Note that with quad shield cable, there may be two layers of
braid and one layer of foil to fold back. When using the
stripper, adjust the blade so it cuts through the outer layer of
braid and foil. This makes it easier to fold the braid back.
