Section IV. CABLES
15-10.
GENERAL
Interconnecting communications cables and connectors can normally be repaired using
procedures contained in the electrical chapter.
Communications interconnecting cables normally have multiple wires. Put sufficient
wraps of tape or insulation on the individual wires to prevent shorts or grounding.
RF cables are shielded cables.
The shielding over the splice must make good
contact with the shielding on the other side to prevent radio frequency
interference (RFI).
When sufficient shielding is not available, a repair can be
made by using a conductive material (such as tubular copper braid, metal gauze,
conductive foil from gum wrappers, cigarette packages, or common kitchen foil) over
the repair.
Damaged connectors can be bypassed using a direct wiring procedure or by
substituting unused connector wire pairs and wiring them to connect the appropriate
c i r c u i t s.
