9. Apply SRM over connector
Remove backing from one side of the long strip of Stress Relief
Material (SRM). Roll the SRM and remaining backing strip into a
convenient size. Removing the remaining backing strip, tightly wrap
the SRM around the connector and exposed conductor. Be sure to
fill the gaps and low spots around the connector.
Continue to wrap SRM 1/4" onto the solvent cleaned insulation as
shown. (Finished SRM diameter should be only slightly larger than
that of the cable insulation.)
Make sure the area between the connector end and the end of the
insulation is filled in up to the top of the chamfered insulation.
Note: If connector diameter is larger than insulation diameter, apply
two tightly wrapped, half-lapped layers of SRM over the entire
connector and be sure to fill the gaps. Discard excess SRM
(long strips).
10. Apply SRM at semi-con cutback
Remove backings from the short angle-cut piece of SRM. Place tip
of SRM at semi-con cutback and tightly wrap to fill semi-con step.
Overlap semi-con and insulation as shown. Taper SRM down to
meet insulation.
Depending on cable size, more SRM is supplied than is required to fill
the step. After filling the step, discard excess angle cut pieces.
Note: If using Unishield* cable, apply SRM as shown to fill
conductive jacket step.

11. Apply Silicone Grease (SG)
Snip open the end of the tube of silicone grease and apply a thin film
of grease on the SRM over the connector and semi-con steps.
12. Position black stress control tube; shrink in place
Center the tube over the splice. Begin shrinking at the center (1)
of the tube, working the torch around all sides of the tube. After
the center portion shrinks, work towards one end (2), then to the
opposite end (3).
Note: Do not point the flame at the cable semi-con.
