8. Using the Semi-Conductive Tape provided, starting 2cm in front of the end of the Outer
Copper Screen Wires (or 5cm in front of the Black PVC Outer Sheath), stretch and wrap
the tape back over the wires and 3cm over the Black PVC with 50% overlap, securing the
Outer Copper Screen Wires in place. This should use approx 50cm of the tape. (Figure 28)
Note: DO NOT cut the tape at this stage.

9. Over wrap back towards the Crimp end of the cable, again stretching the tape and with
50% overlap, leaving 5cm covering the Outer Copper Screen Wires and White XLPE
Insulation and 3cm covering the Black PVC Outer Sheath. This should use approx another
50cm of the tape. Again, do not cut the tape. (Figure 29)

10. Using the 30cm markings as a guide, continue to wrap the tape around the White XLPE
Insulation in a coarse spiral, (5 Turns from the outer-Copper screen wires to crimp), with
only slight tension, ensuring that the tape is not too loose. Note: The spiral needs to be
applied with even pitch to achieve best performance. (Figure 30)
