10. Wrap self amalgamating tape over the joint of the mated connector. When using self
amalgamating tape, strip back the interleaving and stretch the tape by between one
third and one half. Keep the tape under tension and wrap, overlapping successive
layers by 50% until the desired build up of insulation is achieved. Finish the wrapping
by holding the tape under the thumb and snap by stretching. The high degree of
stretch as described above prevents the inclusion of voids and ensures rapid
amalgamation.
11. Run cable end up to the Service Interface Unit. Estimate the length of end required
for termination of cable (allow 150mm of conductor for a maintenance re-termination
of cable) and cut cable to length.
