6. From the end of the cable, remove the
copper tape up to the roll spring, exposing
the black semi-conductive material by
unrolling, then tearing the tape up and back
over the edge of the roll spring at about a
45 degree angle, (see Figure 3). If necessary,
carefully cut about 6 mm (1/4 in) of the
copper tape up against the roll spring with
a knife and then tear over the spring.
7. Carefully remove the roll spring, then
tape up the last 6 mm (1/4 in.) of the
copper tape with a piece of PVC tape, to
stop further unraveling, (see Figure 4).

8. Place the structure bond braid (13) over the
cable so that it sits over the copper screen.
Ensure that the braid loops tightly around the
copper screen. Tape the bond braid into place
with PVC tape (4), (see Figure 6).
Ultimately, this braid will require electrical
bonding to the structure. Terminate the
bonding cable with the provided crimp lug
(16).
