The choice of the appropriate combination of inner sleeve, outersleeve
and crimp tool/die will depend on the diameter ofthedielectric.
However, a direct correlation with the diameter of the dielectric isnot
possible, because several different inner sleeves can be combined with
the same outer sleeve (according to the type ofshield).
With the directions shown below, a measuring instrument (caliper)is all
that is required to make the right selection in three steps:
Select connectors and dies in
three easy steps!
2. Selection of the outer sleeve (GSC)
Normal method:
• Slide the selected inner sleeve underneath the shield of the cable
• Measure the maximum diameter with the shield over the inner sleeve
• Add .03" to the measured value. The sum will give the Inner Diameter (I.D.) of the GSC sleeve
• In the table on page G-87, select the GSC outer sleeve having this I.D. or the nearest larger I.D.
Quick method:
In most cases, a quicker method can be used to define the correct GSC outer sleeve:
• Once the appropriate GSB inner sleeve is found, the table on page G-87 will give the Outer Diameter (O.D.) of this GSB sleeve
• Add .06" to this O.D. and the sum will give the Inner Diameter (I.D.) of the GSC sleeve
• In the table on page G-87, select the GSC sleeve having this I.D. or the nearest larger I.D.
3. Selection of the die

can be found on page G-88. See GSC outer sleeve table.
1. Selection of the inner sleeve (GSB)
• Strip the outer insulator and remove the shield
• Measure the maximum value of the diameter of the dielectric (diameter without shield) by gently rotating
the cable. When doing so, it should be possible to turn the cable easily between the jaws of the caliper
• Add .01" to the measured value. The sum will give the Inner Diameter (I.D.) of the GSB inner sleeve
• In the table on page G-87, select the GSB inner sleeve having this I.D. or the nearest larger I.D.
