i2 MICRO iCON USER'S MANUAL: SECTION 5
In order to prevent protective sleeving slippage for cable assemblies, VPC recommends lacing to secure the wire to sleeve
or wrapping with silicone tape. We have internal procedures to resolve these types of issues in order to provide optimal
outcomes for your system. Please contact us with any questions. Below are VPC best practices for securing protective
sleeving.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Blunt Sewing Needle
Wax Lacing Tape
Cable Sleeving
Silicone Tape (optional)
OPTIONAL CABLE SLEEVING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fold the end of the sleeving under.
2. Sew the sleeving to the wires with lacing tape using a
'figure 8' pattern for a better hold (Figure A).
3. Use silcone tape to increase cable diameter, if necessary,
for a secure clamp (Figure B & C).
4. When possible, place sleeving under the inside of the
clamp.
NOTE: The preferred method is to place sleeving inside clamp
regardless of tape use.
