1. Measure the diameter of the cable shield using a calibrated
measuring tool or the RSK gauge (part number RSK-LEHRE)
which is in the tool case lid. Rotate the cable in order to
locate the maximum shield diameter. Exert only light
pressure on the cable to get an accurate measurement, see
Figure. 1.
When using the RSK gauge , try to nd the appropriate slot
in the gauge by ensuring that the cable only goes in the top
of the slot. If the cable goes completely to the bottom of
the slot, you should try the cable in the smaller adjacent
slot.
Once you nd the appropriate slot, you can read the
associated RSK connector by the color of the slot and the
appropriate die by the number marked below the slot.
2. For twisted pair and other non-symmetrical shielded
cables, measure the dimension of the major axis or the
largest width of the cable.
When you use the RSK gauge, try to nd the appropriate
slot in the gauge by tting the largest width of the cable
into the slot. Similar to step 1, if the cable goes completely
to the bottom of the slot, try the next smaller adjacent slot.
3. Once the shield diameter is established, refer to Table 1 for
the appropriate connector and installing die.
