Step 11 -Measure each BOF cable from the cable end a distance equal to the splice section length, and mark the cable outer jacket.
Step 12 -With the cable jacket-stripping tool, ring cut each BOF cable jacket at the mark and strip the jacket from the each BOF cable end.
NOTE: Make sure that the individual BOF tubes are not punctured, crushed, or kinked while removing the BOF cable jacket.
Step 13 -Trim the strength members so that they extend one half of the splice section length from the BOF cable outer jacket. Fold them back along the BOF cable outer jacket and tape them to the jacket (the tape will be removed later).
Step 14 -Trim back the cable fillers and waterblocking tape around the BOF
tubes to the BOF cable jacket edge.
NOTE: Make sure that the individual BOF tubes are not punctured, crushed, or kinked while trimming back the cable elements.
Step 15 -Position the two cable ends so that the BOF tube ends from one cable align with the other cable's outer jacket end.
Step 16 -Use the tube cutter to cut tube number one of both BOF cables at approximately the center of the splice section. Visually verify that the ends of both tubes are cut perpendicular to the tube length.
Clean the end of each BOF tube with a wipe dampened with alcohol and blow dry as necessary.
Step 17 -Slide a tube coupler onto one of the BOF tubes and firmly seat the tube within the tube coupler. Slide the second BOF tube into the
other end of the tube coupler and firmly seat the tube within the tube coupler.
NOTE: The distance between the two BOF cable jackets should now be equal to the splice section length.
Step 18 -Apply an axial load of approximately 22 N (5 lbs) between the two
tubes to verify that both BOF tubes are properly engaged into the tube
coupler.
Step 19 -Referring to the stagger scheme determined in Step 1, use the tube cutter to cut tube two of each of the two BOF cables to the appropriate length. Visually verify that the end of each tube is cut
perpendicular to the tube length. Clean the end of each BOF tube with a wipe dampened with alcohol and blow dry as necessary.
