MIL-STD-2042-2B(SH)
Step 12 -Insert the cable through the stuffing tube and into the enclosure so that the outer jacket will protrude completely through the rubber bushing. Slide the washers and bushing down the cable into the tube. (NOTE: When necessary to pass an airtight test, apply RTV silicone rubber to the bushing.)
Step 13 -Slide the cap down the cable, screw it onto the tube and tighten it sufficiently using the spanner wrench to compress the bushing to form a tight seal between the cable and the tube. (NOTE: Hold the tube
body when tightening the cap to prevent breaking the watertight seal.) After the bushing has been compressed for approximately 24 hours, retighten it to ensure the seal is maintained.
Step 14 -If required, wind the exposed kevlar strength member under a screw lug attached beside the stuffing tube and tighten the screw lug.
NOTE: This step is only performed when additional strain relief is required beyond that provided by the stuffing tube assembly.
NOTE: Sealing plugs are for use in service to seal nylon stuffing tubes from which cables have been removed. When installing sealing plugs, the cable bushing shall be discarded but the nylon washers shall be retained and left in the stuffing tube.
Step 15 -Install terminations on the OFCCs as specified on the system drawings using Part 5 of this standard practice.
