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.
Note: If using UniShield* cable, apply SRM as shown to fill
conductive jacket cutback.

11. Apply Silicone Grease (SG)
Snip open the end of the silicone grease tube 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 tube over splice as shown. Begin shrinking at center of tube
(1), working torch with a smooth, brushing motion around the tube.
After center portion shrinks, work torch as before toward one end
(2), then to the opposite end (3). Apply sufficient heat to ensure
softening of the SRM, indicated by a smooth surface profile.
Note: Do not point the flame directly at the cable semi-con layer.
The rings from the SRM wraps may be visable as the tubing shrinks.
13. Apply red sealant
Remove backing from red sealant. Using light tension, wrap sealant
over the cable, butted against the tube as shown. Build the sealant to
the level of the black stress control tube.
14. If using Drain Wire or UniShield cables
Remove backing and install the aluminum deflector around semi-con
as shown.
