Wiring Figure 3-12: Shield drain wires wrapped twice around exposed shield foil e. Place the shielded heat shrink over the exposed shield drain wires. The tubing should completely cover the drain wires. f. Without burning the cable, apply heat (250 °F or 120 °C) to shrink the tubing. See Figure 3-13.
