If joint buried plant is used, check the cable sheath for voltage in accordance with local
standards. If voltage is detected, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your supervisor
and do not proceed until the voltage hazard is eliminated.
If these recommendations are not in accordance with local practices, follow local practices in place of these steps.
1
Ring cut the cable outer sheath 9 inches (229 mm) above the end chamber false floor.
2
Remove the sheath above the ring cut.
3
Cut the cable grounding shield 9 inches (229 mm) above the false floor (the same place as the outer sheath).
4
Remove the grounding shield to expose the plastic core wrap.
5
Cut the cable core wrap 9-1/2 inches (241 mm) above the false floor (1/2 inch higher than the sheath and
shield marks). Pull off the plastic wrap to expose the wire pairs.
6
Check the cable to make sure no pairs were nicked. If filled cable is used, wipe any excess filling compound
from the conductor bundle.
7
Install an appropriately-sized bond clamp on the cable. Connect a solid 6 AWG ground wire between the
clamp and the cabinet ground bar. Place the ground wire under the containment bracket at the front of the end
chamber floor.
8
Install binder group identification ties, then remove the unit binders and prepare to splice the cable.

The 325-type protector stubs are already connectorized and arranged on the splicing support bars. An
identifying tag shows the pair count of each splicing module as shown in
Do not remove the identification tags from the splicing modules.
2
Using the splicing pair-count information provided on the engineering drawings, arrange the appropriate
cable pairs with their corresponding protector stub cable pairs on the splicing support bars.
3
Splice, following approved local practices.
