Action
Position the VF cable (pairs 1–600) in the far left conduit opening as upright
as possible.
Position the VF cable (pairs 601–1200) in the middle-left conduit opening as
upright as possible.
Position the HF cable in the far right conduit opening as upright as possible.
Cut pieces of bonded mesh large enough to wrap around each cable.
Make a mold by wrapping each piece of bonded mesh approximately 2 inches
(5.08 cm) above the sheath.
Note: The top of the bonded mesh to the base of cable conduit should
measure 10 inches (25.4 cm).
Wrap electrical tape around the base of the bonded mesh on all cables in
order to secure it to the cable and form a seal.
Mix both parts of the encapsulate in a disposable plastic container no more
than ten minutes prior to use.
Pour the encapsulate mixture into the mold.
Note: Be sure to fill the mold to the top.
Wait at least 20 minutes to allow the encapsulate to set.
