Step 9

Using a pair of pliers, tear off the second layer of polyethylene jacket where it was scored
to expose the slotted shield and drain wire.

Step 10

Fold back the braided drain wire, then measure 16 mm (0.63 in) from the outer jacket and
cut the remaining 59 mm (2.32 in) off the shield and foam dielectric using the second
adjustable blade ringer. The ringer should be placed on the material to be removed, so the
tool rotation does not damage the remaining shield.
Set the second ringer's blade by placing it on the cable end and adjusting the blade to ~2
mm (.08 in) away from the center conductor, be aware the dielectric can be deformed with
pressure which will alter cutting depth. Use caution to not score the center conductor as
this will affect performance. The shield and dielectric can then be pulled off the center
conductor by twisting and pulling with pliers.
