Figure 13 Cutting Technique for Removing Foil in the Braid

4 Fold the braid back over the jacket and trim the braid to the length as defined
under Length C in
5 Flare the inner, outer braids and the outer foil shield only. Do not flare the inner
foil shield (last foil around dielectric).
6 (If using a coax stripper, skip this step.) Being careful not to cut into the copper
of the center conductor, remove the foil and cut the dielectric to the length
shown under Length B in
7 If the conductive foil is burred, then smooth out the burr so that the edge (area
where the dielectric material was removed) is smooth and provides a lead-in for
the connector mandrel.
8 Install connector mandrel over foil and underneath the braid.
NOTE: The white color inner dielectric insulation should be flush with the inner
rear surface of the connector. Refer to the picture on the right in
