2. At one end of a shielded cable (item 2) measure a distance between "Window Min" to "Window Max"
(Table B-3) and cut a window (max size 0.35") in the jacket to expose the shield (Figure B-2). Use
caution when cutting the jacket to avoid damaging the individual braids of the shield. When dealing
with a densely populated connector with many cables, it may prove beneficial to stagger the windows
throughout the "Window Min" to "Window Max" range. If staggering is not needed the "Ideal
Window" length is recommended.
Suggested tools to accomplish the window cut:
• Coaxial Cable Stripper
• Thermal Stripper
• Sharp Razor Blade
