2.0 Install Ground Braid Assembly
2.1 Select the pre-formed ground braid assembly from the kit. Pass the end of the cable through the ground braid
assembly loop, and position the ground braid assembly around the tape shield shown. (Figure 2)
2.2 Select the 3 constant force springs from the kit. Starting at the loop of the ground braid assembly nearest the
cable jacket edge, install the 3 constant force springs, one around each ground braid loop. Cinch (tighten) the
springs after wrapping the final turn. Extend the ground braid tails down the cable jacket. (Figure 3)
2.3 Select the roll of 1" ( 25 mm) wide Scotch® Sealing Mastic 2229 from the kit. Cut a length of the tape long
enough to wrap around the cable jacket. Remove the release liner from the mastic and, using light tension, apply
a single wrap of mastic around the cable jacket, positioned under the ground braid solder blocks. (Figure 4)
